Had been hoping to spend this BH at Pembroke, but family care issues blew my plans out the water. Just wondering what the weather was like and if those who went got much done.

Thanks Luke. My misery meter just went ding into the red. Riders on the storm has been on my hit list, with suitable leader for a couple of years now. I am not familiar with C for C but glad you had a great trip. Pembroke gave me lots of my magical memories.

Gower was beautiful on Saturday, it rained all day non stop on Sunday then after a shower was fine on Monday. Not sure what it was like over the water in pembroke.

Never climbed on the Gower I'm afraid. I need to get out more.

Glad to see you got the priority right, climbing and pubs, though I tend to reverse the order.

Had an ace weekend in Pembroke!after years of waiting to get a slot on Rock idol I finally ticked it off on Sunday before later catching my mate taking a huge whipper and taring the sheath on his right hand rope on cool for cats before driving him to A+E for assessment on his ankle which thankfully wasn't broken,then went on to have an awesome day on Monday in the sun with my two other mates whilst my mate soaked up sun and licked his wounds!

Glad to hear he was OK Jon. I was the one who set up the abseil to retrieve his gear. I got on it the day after.

We went gower Sunday morning and it was hammering it down. So went on to pembroke and it was very light drizzle. But still very climbable. And Monday was sunny as hell.

You shouldn't have asked. It was both warm and uncrowded in North Pembroke all weekend. Especially on the Gabro away from the Rockfax honey pots.

Only ever had a wander along the tops at North Pembroke. I'm supposed to have a long standing date with Armorican if I ever get back there.

Doesn't everyone?

Anyone heard how the injured person/s are doing from Monday at chapel head area?looked like quite an operation with two choppers and all the land crew!our thoughts go to those involved.

If you are going to spend any time there, definitely get the definitive cc guide.There is so much to go at and plenty of non tidal options which is useful.

In reply to GrahamD:

Thanks for that Graham. I'll look out for it.
