We know the August Pembroke meet is one of the most popular meets, with it’s glorious solid cliffs, dramatic abseils, and unbeatable sea views. So this year, why not go twice? It also happens to fall on the last Range West briefing of the year, those of you wanting to get that in.
I propose staying at Bosherston Campsite, as it’s cheap and cheerful, no need to book, it’s close to Range East crags, and there’s a pub nearby. Plus a beach you can walk to. Though open to alternatives if anyone would rather stay further north/near St. David’s.
Once I have an idea of numbers I’ll book a pub dinner - let me know on the spread sheet if you want in on this.
Looking forward to hanging out with you wonderful lot by the sea! And pray to the weather gods Summer holds out a little longer!
