Right, I think the list of people going is:

  • Andrew (car)
  • Tom
  • Jan + girlfriend
  • Max
  • Me
  • Vilius
    My understanding from last night is that Tom, Jan and girlfriend are in Andrew’s car. That leaves me, Max and Vilius to hire a car. They are quite pricey but I’m keen to go so can sub it to a reasonable price if necessary. I need to pay for the car in advance so people confirm what they are doing ASAP so I can book at lunchtime.
    Cheers

Looking forward to climb in Pembroke!

Hi, I’m keen to go as well but would be happy to get a cheap car. I’ve looked at rentalcars.com and a small car can be rented starting from 35 pounds. The cheapest prices are at the airports. So Heathrow (prices start from 50) probably is the most convenient? What do you think, @hughmerritt ?

45

Ok, I’ll have a look later when I have some time.

46

Hi Andrew,

I’m definitely still keen for a lift - i’ve dropped you an email.

Thanks,

Tom

Thanks Hugh,

Sorry I was out all day. Definitely in if you have been able to sort a hire car. Thanks

Hugh. Planning on coming and have wheels and some spaces! Will message with details in a sec.

Great news. Tim, how much spaces do you have?

50

Positive negotiations with Manchi mean I get the car this weekend. Already have on passenger (Caroline) and there are some complications around departure and arrival times:

  • Caroline can’t leave London until 7pm.
  • We’re thinking about crashing at Cardiff on Friday at a friends (Eulee) place.
  • We’ll do the final bit of the drive on Sat morning.
  • Camping Sat night
  • Ideally not leave super late on Sunday (have a 7:30am flight to catch on Monday morning…)

So anyway, have three extra spaces but gear might be a squeeze. Journey back will be easier thank to Peter.

51

I’m in! Sounds better to the hassle of a hire car if we can fit us all in.

52

I’m in! Time for Friday suits me perfect. Where are you going to leave from?

53

Leaving from near Finsbury Park around 6:30. Swinging by Shepherd’s Bush about 7pm.

54

hi Tim

Have you got space for us all? Or if not you can anyone else squeeze in another?

Cheers

55

Don’t know how big Andrews car is might be the better option for the 5 people? We’ve got a B-Class whiny is somewhere between big and small…

56

@Tim_McD , I think for me is better to join your team. I live in Hatfield (north from London) and form there the best is to go directly to Finsbury park. Is that alright with you?

57

Hi

Andrew has kindly agreed to fit me in, but I’ll be going light.

How are we doing for gear and ab ropes? Anyone not bringing a half rope? And who’s bringing an abseil rope in their car?

58

I’m bringing a half rope (i only have one) and an ab rope. And a rack.

59

I’ll have full rack and a pair of half ropes. No ab rope.

60

Sounds like lots of gear. Suggest drivers try and get one abseil rope per car. Though know we have 2 at least from Peter and Khalifa.

61

Last minute changes on the Tim car front. Caroline can’t make it now due to ear infection and no ability to balance.

@Max_Adamson keen on swapping back to my car?

@hughmerritt might reconsider pick up point.

Cheers,

Tim
