Dick Turnbull was there as usual, as he has been for the last twenty years or so, and he was happy that so many people made it out. He put in several hours belay duty for the assembled throng after his lead.

Here are some photos of the day starting with several shots of Jon Morgan and Greg Rimmer who, with myself, ran from Bradwell, about six miles away, to Stanage, before their ascents....and finishing with carol singing in the Scotsman's Pack in Hathersage,

A merry Christmas to everyone and have a great 2011 - hoping for lots of climbing and happiness.
