Tim - thanks for the offer of a lift - I’ll start a discussion on the chat forum’s messaging to share numbers and pick up details. (click your profile picture top right for your inbox, or if you have email chat notifications set up will be in your inbox too).
Hey folks, we finally arrived… My mum and dad are here too.
We have pitched half way down the field on the left next to a fire extinguisher. My mum and dad have a grey VW T5 California. Fill left (facing out from the field) from there.
Only thing I could see was the advice about moving in and out. Ok for at the wall/ sport (ish) but not outside on trad, merrily stipping gear while your leader panics! Makes me feel guilty i cant spot it!!
On another note @mhobby1979@jo_keogh, super well done on a fab meet. Much love. The campsite was super doooper brill, i met some lovely people washing up! Awesome. So glad we could join you.
And well done to everyone else on some fine climbing done that I spied…fab!
Khalid, in section 2 spotting
When I spot a leader I have my hands up as in pic but I keep the rope in the V between thumb and fingers of right hand. That way as soon as the leader has clipped I can shut my hand and have them on belay
Cheers guys, that was a great weekend and first trip with the club! Hope the weather is as good for the Sept meet now
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.
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.
