In reply to Robert Durran:
> No! No! No! Too much information......to which I might add that it always rains (being Scotland) and once there it's impossible to run away from the weather, so you'll almost certainly have a completely wasted trip. Anyway Spain is quicker, cheaper and easier to get to from the home counties (and much sunnier).
Robert, this comment made me laugh! I do recall the last trip I had out there (organised by you!) that you and numerous others (including my supposed climbing partner!) bottled out due to a poor long range forecast and went to Pembroke instead.... That's the trouble with folk sitting at computers all day, checking weather forecasts! It did rain a bit on the first day (though we did climb fair number of routes), then we hadamazing weather rest of trip, almost too hot at times. Some of the new routes we did include Sunshine's Better, Hot enough for ya?, Little Miss Sunshine and It Aint Half Hot Mum....Oh how we laughed. And one of the party got mild sunstroke!
And no, I'm not making this up. ;D
