We’ll I’m keen for The Roaches - seems I didn’t need to log on at 2am Friday morning

[Lindsay M]

Probably worth telling you that all sign ups on day 1 are given equal priority by the booking system then John

[JWA]

I thought so
The 2am was a happy result of a false fire alarm at the hotel!
But I am surprised no one else has signed up for the best grit crag anywhere…

The pull of this hut is too strong.. I'm in

[TayRex]

Maybe it was the thought of eggs 11 ways

Anybody fancy getting on Valkyrie with me? Too many lines to choose from!

[Gmatthew]

I did it last year. Rope management is an absolute nightmare!

[JWA]

I should know the answer but is it still £12 a night for hut meets?

I should know the answer but is it still £12 a night for hut meets?

until Easter - so this is the last meet at the old price!

Lovely! Should be plenty of takers then...

[Peter]

Still haven't done a single route at this hallowed crag except one second dog in the rain so it will inevitably tip it down. Sorry all.

As for meal themes, Mexican sounds pretty good to me!

[TayRex]
