Tuesday 10th September: Ilkley Quarry

[Will Hunt]

What it says in the thread title. Forecast is good but might be midgy.

[Kitsy]

I'm keen for this Shall be on the train unless any kind soul happens to be heading out from Armley/Headingly way.

[JR]

I'm hoping to attend, and I'm also hoping that the forecast westerly breeze will be enough to keep the dreaded M word down...

[Will Hunt]

I think I'm bringing pads along.

[JR]

Good call Will - think that'll be the best way to use the limited daylight - I've not really explored the bouldering there that much.

Count yourself lucky.

[hburns]

I was also thinking about bringing along my pad!

[liamw]

I'll be there along with a couple of other new members.

[Kirsty.Lightfoot]

I’m keen! What time will people be there from?

[Will Hunt]

I'll hopefully get there about 6 and will be somewhere between Baby Spice and Lost Boots/First Arete I think.

[Kitsy]

I just discovered a box of pointy things in my room by sticking my hand in it, which was unfortunate. So I'll be avoiding the rocks this evening. Hope you have a good one though, looks lovely out there.

[JR]

I should be there around 6p.m. as well.

Kitsy - there sounds *much* more to that story! 'box of pointy things' - hedgehogs? crampons? killer catci?!

Not climbed at Ilkley before, guessing park at Cow and Calf car park? Any tips on getting to part of crag where people will be or is it quite obvious?

[JR]

Yep - Cow and Calf parking - the bit Will's on about is to the immediate right of the quarry entrance I believe (and round the corner past the 'cow' itself).
