In reply to UKC Articles:
Fantastic, I didn't realise this article was even in the pipeline until Natalie brought my attention to it!
Really nice to meet you both over the bank holiday weekend, I remember making that comment regarding the Pembroke scene too. Think your response was "we are the scene", which I quite liked. I've always lived by the Ghandi philosophy of "be the scene you want to see in the world". Your scene and my scene sound quite similar, insofar as they both stand for going out and doing it as much as possible (only you're both younger and more talented). I'm envious of your close proximity to Pembroke though...
I was also chuffed to see you'd done Arrettica too (spotted it on the logbooks), Dunc and I did that on our last day and I thought it was one of the most underrated E5s in Pembroke (previously this award had gone to The One Eyed Man). Hannah, the route you recommended, is very firmly 'on the list' now too, although if you found it difficult I suspect I'll be in for a hard time! Then there's Gorak, plus the other 1001 routes I'm yet to do in Pembroke.
Always something to look forward to eh??
Hopefully see you both again soon.
Stefan Morris writes about growing up in - and growing out of - Pembroke. 'I wrote this after meeting UKC's Rob Greenwood on Stennis Head. Offhand, he remarked "I didn't realise there was an actual scene down here." This isn't a rundown of the scene, or even a coherent narrative, more of a – 'My Pembroke.''
