The frost may still be on the ground when you wake in the morning, but the days are getting longer and warmer. Even though people have been gathering at their favorite climbing areas already, is anyone interested in having a Spring gathering at Rumney to start the year?

I might be down for it, but where you gonna camp ??? Camping is not permitted at RP, and access is a bit on the sensitive side.

was this moved to M&E because of the access issues, or is it some sort of uber private moderators only gathering?

In reply to: um, why is this in M&E
I'm guessing that he meant to hit Events and Gatherings, and missed by one line...
Anyway, I live 1 hour and 10 minutes from Rumney, so if people are having a gathering there, I will try to show up with my ropegun in tow.

I don't see any admins online to move this to events&gatherings, I sent a PM to handjammer to explain what happened and let him know this will be moved appropriately as soon as possible!!

I have a place where we can pitch tents. It's between Dorchester and Cannan. It's about a good half an hour from Rumney on Rt. 118 and there is plenty of room for tents. The owner of the land, my sister-in-law, is all for it. As long as we behave and not burn the woods down ... she's cool. I'll need to finalize a date with her as soon as we can come up with one.
PM me if you're going or for information.

I'm just showing a general interest here.
I was planning on heading to Rumney, but I was thinking more like in two weeks. Did you have any dates in mind?
And since we're on the topic, what's up with camping at Rumney. I haven't been there in over a year. Last time I went we could camp in the backyard of this nice lady's farm for a few bucks a night, and just across from the crag. Is that no more? If so, are there any alternatives?

A group of us from RPI will most likely be heading over to rumney for the 29th of April for a couple days. Last year we stayed at a campground not too far from the crag. Only the group sites where open if I remeber correctly.

Woo-woo for the annual spring Rumney trip. It's gonna be a fun one. Maybe this year the "campground" on the farm owned by the lady will be open. Either way, it'll be a rock'n good time. Can't wait to use my new quickdraws :lol:

It's confirmed. Memorial weekend is on. Campsites are taken care of for those who don't mind traveling a few miles (see below). The hosts are excited to meet everyone. If there is going to be enough people, I may be able to get a band for one night. I will need a “campsite” count so we can ensure everyone has a place … we may have to mow the fields. So … who’s in???
I had a map, but this page will not show it. Check out mapquest. Rumney to 69 Stevens Road, Cannan, NH.
Directions Show Turn by Turn Maps
1. Starting in RUMNEY, NH on QUINCY RD - go < 0.1 mi
2. Turn on MAIN ST - go 0.7 mi
3. Turn on MOOSILAUKE RD/RUMNEY ROUTE 25 - go 4.1 mi
4. Bear on DORCHESTER RD - go 2.0 mi
5. Continue on DORCHESTER RD/NH ROUTE 118 - go 8.9 mi
6. Turn on LARY POND RD/STEVENS RD - go 0.2 mi

I'd like to renew my interest in this gathering. It'd be nice to meet new people!
So if I get this right, memorial week end would be the last week end of May right?
Although I expect that time to be pretty busy for me, I think I could manage to make it work.
I'm happy to see we would have a campground nearby, but I'd like to ask again the same question, since I was inquiring for other times I'd wanna go. What's up with camping at Rumney? Can we still camp behind the lady's farm across from the crag? If not, what do you guys do?

I'm not sure about the lady across the road ... but, there is very little else in the area. You'll find hotels, motels and inns, and a couple of scanty places to pitch a tent if you look real hard. I'll try to get you more information and PM you. I'm also looking forward to see new and old friends!
