Hello,

It’s that time of the month again! Does anyone have any plans for an excursion next week?

Thanks,

David

I did the last one so someone else shoudld have the opportunity. However, if no one else proposes anything by Monday 14.00 I will suggest something then.

It would be dependent on the weather forecast but could be something like Ramshaw rocks

Well no suggestions for full moon Tuesday from others so – it’s Ramshaw.

South East facing and, with forecast light cloud, glimpses of the moon might occur. Weather forecast cold but dry with light wind. Despite a rather fierce reputation there are some good routes at all grades (e.g. Boomerang VD *** and of course Foord’s Folly, E3 6A ***).
Car parking at SK018620. Meet at the left hand end (e.g. Leeds Crack, Broken Groove) to test the conditions.
The Rock in Upper Hulme afterwards. I will phone to check it is open.

Hello
I didn’t give the time on the forum this – though did on Facebook
I intend to arrive at the Ramshaw car park around 19.00 and start climbingsoon after (19.30?).I anticipate leaving for the pub around 21.30 but, if the conditions are good.

I believe some would like to come (and leave) earlier – if so post on this forum or (sigh) on Facebook.

Also if anyone wants to propose a walk round there do the same

The idea of climbing outside at night is that those with work commitments should be able to come along with minimum disruption to the rest of their lives.
So inevitably the attendees (4 Tuesday nighters and 3 from the Mynydd making 4 in total) did not have any commitments of this sort. Could have gone during the day.
However, the rock was dry and reasonably warm with the crag facing the moon which was unobsured for more than half the time. 3 good routes done then the pub which was open.
Next Full Moon Tuesday is 7 March when I will be away so someone else should suggest a venue – perhaps soemthing more “populist” to reflect the times.
