So, whats everyone up to?

In reply to Indy:

Hoping to take a hot air balloon ride if the wind is not too strong.

In reply to Indy:

Boringly predictable: Pembroke.

In reply to Indy:

Mostly high on drugs whilst recovering in bed with a now freshly fixed ACL... (again!)

In reply to GrahamD:

Last time I was in Pembroke on August Bank Hol w/e: no chance of getting food in St G Inn after 7.00pm, 2 team queues on Bloody Sunday and 20 people queues for loos at St Petrox at 8am.

In reply to Indy:


Being thankful that I'm working rather than joining the mad rush to do stuff because there is an extra day on the end of the weekend

In reply to Owen W-G:

Sounds about right. Annual club pilgrimige though. Staying N Pembroke this year so at least its a change of pub not be able to get food in

In reply to Indy:

Welsh slate for me, hoping to get my first 7a tick.

In reply to Indy:

I'm going to avoid the crowds this year, so we're heading to Scafall Pike...
speaking of which, anybody have an recommendations for a campsite close by that will have space for a rock-up-and-see late on Saturday evening (NOT chapel house farm.... don't ask)

In reply to Indy:

I forgot, and made appointments at work. Hey ho. Still, tis but another Monday.

In reply to Owen W-G:


they were not taking card payments recently so anyone calling in might want to take some extra cash

In reply to Indy:

Saturday at home (I haven't been home on a Saturday for over 2 months I think), then Sunday out to FCQ or so (hopefully do Withy Crack and some others), and Monday - who knows. Hopefully more climbing.

NT Campsite in Great Langdale

In reply to Indy:

Driving down to Font tomorrow at 4.00am. Got a very nice gite booked with wifi and all mod cons. 10 minute walk into the Trois Pignon boulders. First trip there since about '85. Prepared to be sandbagged and spanked but don't care, 7 days of wall to wall quality bouldering. Just set my work email auto responder to 'do not disturb' and heading over to Robin Hoods Stride now for a last blast on grit before we go.....

In reply to Indy:

Off out on my bike in the morning, with a group of friends that I'm cycling to Paris with in October. A longish run in the hills on Sunday morning.

Nothing else planned and glad of that. I've had a couple of stressful weeks at work and feel pretty fried, so it will be nice just to relax a little.

In reply to Trangia:


Did it! Fantastic experience, but very bumpy landing . Absolute silence when the burners were off, although we could hear dogs barking and music from a campsite 3000 ft below us. Great views all over Kent from the Shard in London to the Channel and even France in the distance.

I can understand why people get hooked, but it's an expensive sport.
