29/01/2025. Hope Hill. Grade 4. Trampers. Leaders: John Gardiner and Martin Hickley.
The last club tramp here was almost exactly two years ago and Diane and Marijke’s description is quite excellent, so I’ll not repeat that. Undertaken in ever warming conditions and rising afternoon winds, over exposed farmland, twelve trampers were very glad to get down to the cars some five hours after leaving.
