Any suggestions?

In reply to The sharp end:

Skiing & ski mountaineering around Chamonix.

In reply to The sharp end:

Come round to my house, I've got to fit a new kitchen while Mrs. Blade is in India! The quicker I can finish the sooner I can climb.

Actually this thread has given me an idea... new thread coming up.

In reply to The sharp end: Sunny Langdale... I'm on a budget.

In reply to The sharp end:

Currently, Aviemore.
However if it starts looking like nothing will be in nick, then I'll relocate to Pembroke.

In reply to The sharp end:

FONT!!!!! First trip, sooooo excited!!!

*bounce bounce bounce*

In reply to The sharp end: just before - ski mountaineering around Arolla

Easter - mate's wedding in Lakes, occupying parents' house as they disappear for long weekend

shortly thereafter - Ariege

aye, it's a hard life being forced to use up your leftover leave

In reply to The sharp end:

Hoping to go to the Galloway sea-cliffs, weather permitting of course! However, if it looks like it's going to piss down for the long weekend then I think maybe south Wales would be a better idea. I'm very excited though because wherever I am I'll be on a sea-cliff! Plus I only found out recently that it's where they filmed most of The Wicker Man - the hole Edward Woodwood climbed out of is actually at a crag there!!!

In reply to The sharp end: Malta! Should be sunny and warm. Easy to get around island, quite cheap too. (Though flights are prob expensive now...)

In reply to Ava Adore: Don't forget the goose fat...

In reply to Bingly Bong:

Already ordered vast quantities.

In reply to The sharp end:

South Africa!

Going on their international meet and heading off tomorrow - bring it on!

In reply to The sharp end: I'm going to the Gulf, but I certainly wouldnt recommend it!

In reply to drunken monkey:

the gulf sounds interesting and so does south africa

have a great time to all!

In reply to The sharp end: On ski...Lyngen Alps, Norway. Hope I am up to it!!

In reply to The sharp end:

In reply to The sharp end:

In reply to The sharp end:
Smith Rock, Oregan, USA. The birthplace of american sport climbing and some amazing trad to match. Cannot complain!!

WEst Highland Way, quick and light (hopefully).

In reply to The sharp end:

In reply to The sharp end:
Clipping bolts in Spain for 3 and a bit weeks. Trip sponsored by The Student Loans Company.

In reply to The sharp end: why not try some where new,we have all you need and more.www.havefuninthesun.co.uk. its cheap easy to get to and fab weather all year round.

In reply to Different Steve:

see you there

In reply to The sharp end:
I'm going to Ben Nevis for some (hopefully) cold and snowy climbing ... hurrah!

In reply to The sharp end:

Have you considered Dumbarton Rock in Scotland?

The widest range of climbing anywhere in the world (Diff-E11). Guaranteed 11 hours a day sunshine and pleasant (18-20deg) temperatures right through March. After you've spent hours of happy climbing on the most skin friendly rock you'll ever climb on you'll be able to sun bath on the beach with a picnic of fruit picked off nearby trees and perhaps a free sample bottle of the local wine. Idle away a couple of hours watching the antics of the seals and penguins before pulling a salmon from the shallows for your tea. If you’re lucky you might spot a pod of killer whales passing by just off shore. No need to book accommodation, just bivi in one of the caves which all have drinking water on tap and clean chemical loos.

The castle is also worth a visit and a rest day diversion might be to kayak over to Greenock for an excellent fish super and can of Irn Bru.

I'm always on hand for beta and coaching if you feel you’re not getting the most out of this superb venue.

In reply to The sharp end: Antalya, Turkey. Can't wait

In reply to The sharp end:

Tropical Cornwall seems to be a good bet. Pembroke may still be cold.

In reply to The sharp end:

The annual trip to Font to start the year off in style !!

In reply to JLS
