Devon Trip - 4/5 August

Cheers guys, that was a great weekend and first trip with the club! Hope the weather is as good for the Sept meet now :wink:

Thanks to @mhobby1979 and @jo_keogh for the organising, along with @Peter for the lift and all the advice/help from everyone on both days. It was a lot of fun, made up to have gotten a first lead and some abseiling in.

This cave was much bigger and darker and scarier in real life

Well, it’s just Imelda and me left here and the field is pretty quiet.

Yesterday Paul and I climbed Moonraker which was magnificent and having been advised not to abseil, we traversed in at low tide (neap) and it was terrifying. Should have had a warning sign saying “slippery when wet”. We did the rainbow walls diluted traverse after which was pretty cool too also terrifying.

Brilliant weekend Matt and Jo. Well done. You certainly got more people on an NLMC meet than
I’ve ever seen before. We managed to all behave ourselves well enough that the campsite owners will be happy to have us back so thank you all for that too.

Through all the gear sharing going on last weekend, I am deficient of a turquoise-coloured no. 8 nut; has anyone picked it up?

Regards

Peter

I have your nut Peter. Found at the abseil point.

Is the campsite recommended then?

@Tutu wins the prize. Check out the belaying thread.

Belaying Safely

Yes, the campsight is good. Reasonably quiet, a clean toilet block, level pitches. The best bit of it is that you are only 15 mins from Berry Head and what you spend extra on the campsite (it is a bit pricey) you’ll save on the parking.

Thanks Khalid; I hope to attend the Pembroke meet, so should be able to collect from you then, along with the ab rope & anchor gear (a couple of hexes and a long cordlet, I think?).

I have your ab rope Peter. Think Martin took your anchor gear? Will bring to Pembroke.

Thanks Paul

I’ve posted my photos on the NLMC facebook page.

But I don’t have Facebook :frowning:

I’ve uploaded them to dropbox as well, to save me resizing them down to upload into chat…

The photos look really good. Thanks @dabarlow

Excellent!

Great photos @dabarlow, thanks for sharing :slight_smile: Good to see everyone had such a great trip, I’m looking forward to Devon 2019!
