Hello all,
an update: currently, me, Manchi, Tom L, Naomi, Eulee will be going 1st of May weekend to Saxon Sandstone for some great climbing.
We will be sleeping in a hut (5€ per night) that I reserved for us close to the mountains: http://www.felsenwelt.de/Kontakt/Ubernachtung/ubernachtung.html (copy this into google maps: Schmilka 32, 01814 Bad Schandau, Deutschland)
There is the option to sleep even closer to the mountain in little caves:

If anyone else wants to join or has more questions, I am happy to answer or put you down for the reservation

We are thinking of looking at flights today. If we find some good ones I’ll post them on chat.
Might be good to have most of the bank holiday weekenders going on the same flight/ to the same destination so we can hire a car together?
I just tried (belatedly) to book flights. Has anyone else done theirs yet? I seem to have missed the cheap flight window and was wondering what everyone else is doing.
Oh dear, I’ve missed the boat with booking cheap flights too then. I’ll take another look at flights tonight & will let you know if I come up with a Cunning Plan
I think the best option is also the cheapest - Heathrow to Dresden via Frankfurt at £170 including baggage:
Although there is a change it is cheapest and gets us really close to where we actually want to go. The best direct option is WizzAir from Luton to Prague but that’s £200 + Baggage and would involve a lot more driving.
I went for the cheapest option (Economy light) which comes with only 8kg of hand luggage. I did however purchase one additional 23kg hold bag which you are welcome to share. Given that we can’t use a normal rack, and only need to take ropes and sleeping bags, I think 23kg will easily be enough for all of us. It was only £24 extra if you want your own though.
