I’d be up for a day trip! Sadly it looks like I’ll be sans car this weekend - will know tomorrow.

I’d be keen to do something on the Sunday if that would work for any of you?
Sadly I’m also without a car!

Good news and bad news - my car will be sorted for the weekend, but unfortunately, I’ve had to move building work to Saturday due to tomorrow’s rain, so can only go climbing on Sunday - thoughts? Wait and see how the weather pans out?

Looking at the forecast, both Saturday and Sunday look nice on the south coast - I’m happy to go Sunday and Tom said he preferred Sunday? If you’re happy to drive! But can also see how weather looks tomorrow or Friday

Sounds like a good plan to me!
I’m a little light on gear as most of mine is in Bristol, but i have the
bare essentials.
Assume the plan is for trad?

Will confirm that my car is sorted late Friday - have full rack etc. The trad at Swanage is tidal (from a slightly foggy memory - was a little underwhelmed from the non-tidal bits), with plenty of quarry sport and some closed sport crags with loose rock. However, it’s a 3.5 hour drive when the traffic is good, more like +4 hours including stops, weekend traffic. Same time to drive to Portland, Wye Valley, and Cheddar.
To be honest I forgot the drive was that long - am 50/50 on whether I can fit a super long day in on Sunday at the mo - might have to settle with southern sandstone or do a proper weekend away.

I am planning to drive to Stone Farm on Saturday for a mixture of bouldering and top roping. Can take 3 more people from Chalfont and Latimer tube if anyone interested …

Yeah it is quite a long drive, but everywhere is a long way from London. It sounds like southern sandstone might be the best bet? I don’t have a guide book or bouldering mat…
Matt - are you set on Saturday? It looks likes we might be all going down on different days

I am up for climbing this weekend too. I would prefer a weekend trip, but could do a day trip. I have car, rack and ropes. Is anyone up for a trip to North Wales?

Sunday might work, just checking. I have a bouldering mat. Anyone wanting a lift to Stone Farm on Sunday if I do re-arrange?
