SUMMARY:Fairhead Meet - Dal Riada Climbing Club
DESCRIPTION:Organized annually by the Dal Riada Climbing Club\, hosted by the McBride family and supported by Mountaineering Ireland\, the Fairhead Climbing Meet brings the climbing community together to enjoy the world class climbing at Fairhead Co. Antrim. \nThe Fairhead crag itself runs for 5km\, towering 100m high in places above the expansive boulder fields and crashing sea below. The rock is dolerite that has formed striking columns & cracks that provide abundant opportunities for trad protection. With over 400 routes to choose from\, you won’t be stuck for choice. The meet is a weekend long event with climbers arriving on the Friday afternoon and climbing on Saturday\, Sunday & Monday too. \nCamping is kindly provided on the McBride family farm\, the cost of which is covered by your ticket. \nSee further details and book tickets on the Dal Riada website – https://dalriadaclimbingclub.ie/ \n

SUMMARY:Snowdonia Meet - June Bank Holiday
DESCRIPTION:June Bank Holiday meet in Snowdonia – staying in the Chester Mountaineering Club’s Hut\, on the outskirts of Llanberis. \nSnowdonia is a mecca for climbers and hill walkers. Here\, in a compact area\, there are hundreds of crags and thousands of climbs of all grades from Diff to high Extremes. We have roadside crags\, valley crags and mountain crags\, plus the magnificent sea cliffs of Gogarth\, all within a half hour’s drive from the hut. For walkers and scramblers\, a traverse of the airy the Snowdon Horseshoe is not to be missed. There are also wonderful scrambling routes on Tryfan\, the only mountain south of Scotland where the use of hands is required to reach the summit. The village of Llanberis has 2 good gear shops\, offering 10% discount on producing your IMC card. There is also a supermarket\, cafés\, restaurants\, pubs and an ATM. \nThe hut is less than an hour’s drive from Holyhead Ferry Port. You will need to bring your sleeping bag and a pillow case. The overnight fee is  €15 (i.e. €45 euros total for the 3 nights). The hut is well equipped with everything needed for cooking and has separate wash rooms for women and men. Full details of the hut can be found on their website – https://chestermc.org/pcu/ \nSpaces are limited\, so please don’t register unless you are fully committed. It makes sense to utilise all the spaces in cars\, to keep the cost of travel down. More info to come later

SUMMARY:Climbfest 2025 - Malinbeg
DESCRIPTION:Colmcille Climbers – see website below – are holding the annual Climbfest this year at Malinbeg\, Co. Donegal. \nNO NEED TO BOOK this year.  Just turn up and pay. \nThe charge is 20 euro.  Entry includes for a copy of the Ulster 100 Classics guide which Colmcille have just submitted for printing. \nCAMPING is at the usual site by Malinbeg harbour\, at https://maps.app.goo.gl/kmp3kHe4meLdUZm58?g_st=iw\, within a couple of minutes walk from the crags\, and there are portaloos hired for the weekend.  There is also water on tap at the pier.  So not quite as “wild” as maybe first thought.  There is a large car park for vanners at Silver Strand\, and there is also stated to be hostels at Malinbeg\, Malinmore and Glencolmcille.  I have checked things out.  Malinbeg seems booked out.  Aras Ghleann Colm Cille is open and available\, it is best to book directly with them\, and I’ve published details of “how” in my reply below.  As the weather MayDay is looking as good as Easter looked bleak (check the MetÉ 10 day sea chart)\, anyone wanting a bed should not delay a HOSTEL BOOKING. \nThe area is said not to be as suitable for ‘Bottom roping’ as other places such as Culdaff\, but fixed ropes will be installed at Neptunes Wall and probably Skelpoonagh (about 15 minutes drive from the campsite). There are a variety of other crags accessible within easy driving distance\, Muckross Head\, Sail Rock\, and at An Port\, Berg Wall and the aptly named ‘End of the Earth’ crag. \nClimbfest has been running at various venues throughout Donegal since 2005. This is the 20th\, and as usual\, it’s aimed primarily at the ‘not so serious’ climber\, beginner\, or indoor climber. Colmcille Climbers are hoping that it will be kindly supported by Mountaineering Ireland. \nMeet registration fee €20 includes for a copy of a book of 100 Ulster Classic climbs that Colmcille Climbers are just now publishing\, otherwise costing 18.00 euro (as do extra copies).  As I understand it\, it’s full colour and route descriptions\, with historical or other anecdotes. \nIf anyone reading this but not going to the meet sends me 18.00 by Revolut to address below\, I will deliver a copy to Awesome within a week or so.  Revolut – @david5czr \nAny updates will be posted on the website – https://colmcille-climbers.com/event/glencolmcille-climbfest/
