Portland (or Reading) Day Meet
Our last day meet was on the Summer Solstice – oh how things have changed since then, the big yellow thing in the sky has gone.
We will aim for a Portland day meet but in the (likely) event of bad weather the back up will be Parthian Reading. Those of you with a Parthian Southampton membership can use it at their Reading venue too.
Please sign up below so we know who to expect and we have a record of emergency contact details. If you then cannot come for any reason please cancel your booking from the ‘My Account’ section of the website.
Venue
Portland or Parthian Reading. TBD – dependant on weather.
Suitability
Summary: Open to all
This meet is suitable for everyone, including those who haven’t climbed outside before and it’s a great location for your first outdoor experience. There will be club members there who can help put up top ropes for those who don’t yet fancy leading outdoors, so all are welcome.
Please use the Discord channel and/or the Facebook group to organise lifts to reduce the number of cars travelling.
