Agnes Spencer Memorial Hut

Patterdale,
Lake District,
England.

In 1983, the CHAmois Mountaineering Club entered into an agreement with the Cleveland Mountaineering Club to allow members to use one another's huts. This gives Chamois members use of the Cleveland Club's Agnes Spencer Memorial Hut at Patterdale in the Lake District. Up to four Cleveland MC members may use the CHAmois Mountaineering Centre at any time. If extra places are required, arrangements must be made with the Chamois MC Hut Booking Secretary, Judy Wilshaw. Cleveland members are subject to the same conditions and fees as CHAmois members and have the use of the CHAmois Members Quarters. For more details contact the Secretary
