I've booked off Thursday till Monday for a 5 day trip. Originally the plan was to go to sennen and do 5 days camping/climbing but the weather is looking like a washout.

Does anyone know a location roughly 12 hours drivin max which is a safe bet for climbing...or if it does totally crap out. At least a beautiful spot to be

The verdon? North wales? Frankenjura? Other smaller, worthwhile but lesser known European areas?

Totally open to suggestions!!

(Also which weather forecast is best yr.no?

Wow it does look spectacular. Unfortunately it looks like it's going to rain there too. However, I think I'm going to try and take another trip there later in the year. Looks wild!

It really is as good as it looks. If you like the idea of sandstone then you could also consider the pfalz. Forecast looks good and it's not as long a drive from England...

isn't there a big low front coming in over the weekend? Definitely fits the bill distance wise. I'd be really keen to visit germany too as it gives me an excuse to practice speaking German.

THough is this the place with no gear and only crazy knotted slings?

Forecast looks good on the (fairly reliable) site I checked. There are some bolts and you can also protect using normal trad gear. Just over the French border (30 min drive from there) there is also a good amount of pure sport climbing on the same hard sandstone...
