CANCELLED: Eastby Crag - 23rd August

Post by Lindsay M »

WEATHER UPDATE: Rain stops play (again). A few splitters are going to Almscliff but I think most people are either on holiday or possibly depoting.

This week's excursion, subject to the approval of the weather gods, will be to Eastby Crag. Not too polished, a short (albeit steep...) walk in with a fair few starred routes to tick off. The met office reckons there will be a breeze, which should hopefully keep the midge count down but an early retreat to the pub has been known to happen...

UKC info: https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag ... _crag-543/
Guidebook: Yorkshire Gritstone vol 2 or the topo on the UKC link
Parking: https://goo.gl/maps/FehesEvoKY2epo1PA

Note that there is only space for around 5 cars, so car sharing is advisable if possible.

Intrepid explorers:

Don't think I can make it early enough to be worthwhile sadly. Anyone for Caley (non roadside)? Or perhaps Chevin Buttress.

Met office says 80% chance of rain at 7pm, so alas, no Eastby tonight. Obviously, since I've decided this, it won't rain at all...
