K Fellfarers

K Fellfarers welcomes walkers, climbers, mountaineers, and anyone who loves the outdoors. All standards are welcome .
We meet socially in the Riflemans Arms in Kendal on the first Tuesday of each month after 9pm, and have our own bunkhouse - High House - in Seathwaite, Borrowdale. We hold regular outdoor meets and local indoor and outdoor events throughout the year. See the Social Calendar.

As a member you will receive every three months a 20+ page club magazine called the Fellfarer. This will update you on recent meets and events, the forthcoming social calendar, and occasional extracts from the past activities of the club.

As one of the longest established outdoor clubs in the Lakes, we have a great pedigree, including strong local links with formative people like Howard Somervell, Sid Cross, and Jim Duff. We also have strong links with Kendal Caving Club, and sometimes share meets.

Commemorative Book see on the BMC web site
2009 is the 75th anniversary of the club and its use of High House bunkhouse, and to mark the occasion, we intend publishing a commemorative book. We would like to include material from as wide a source as possible so we are appealing to anyone who has memories, photographs, written material relating to K Fellfarers or High House, to contact the editor Mick Fox for possible inclusion in the book. All photographs will be carefully copied and returned.

Do you know where the missing High House visitors book is covering the years 1955 - 1961? If so, please let Hugh Taylor know.
