In reply to Debra Halcrow:
> BTW - What is the bunkhouse nearest to the cafe like? We were staying in the BRMC club hut (which is very well appointed), but poked our heads round the door of the bunkhouse directly next door - it was a huge garage with a couple of enormous sleeping platforms and a stove - not exactly luxurious!
Nope, but at £4 a night and no need to book who's complaining? Beats a wet night camping.
I've used the more up-market bunkhouse and it seemed OK. No particularly salient memory other than an enourmous jobby that blocked the can.
Eric's is an absolute institution and would be sadly missed. I've often ended up at Tremadog on days when the weather has been on-and-off, and sitting with a big mug of tea and a plate of chips looking out of the window trying to guess whether the crag has dried out is about as definitive a Britsh climbing experience as it gets!
