Best pasties (shop bought) usually come from a butchers shop, not a bakery.
If it comes in a plastic wrapper, it just looks like a pasty (ish).
If it has carrot or (arghhh!) peas in it, it's not a pasty.
Sweed is fine.
Cheese and onion, is a flavour for crisps, hiding it in a pasty shaped parcel does not make it a pasty.
Oggy, Oggy.... OGGY!
However, after a good pasty, is unlikely that you will be able to climb off the sofa, let alone up a rock face.

As a quick follow up to this, just got back from a great few days in Cornwall. Bouldered at Clodgy (agh, so close to Boomerang) and Carn Brea (sore but really good), and had a balmy day tradding at Cribba (first E2 of the year, psyched). All most excellent. Good pastys too  ;)

Cheers to Andy for the hospitality and bouldering knowledge, and Dan for the day out on trad. Well keen to get back some day and explore more of the peninsula. From looking at the guide, Carn Gowla looks immense.

No bouldering pics unfortunately, but heres a couple from Cribba:

Excellent effort! Great bit of climbing that. Best of luck on your next trip to Portland too.

Went to granite planet due to rain yesterday, what a weird wall! On my own so could only Boulder, managed to avoid going up the hole.

Staying on the south coast near rinsey and was hoping to get out for a boulder but have no pad. Anyone about over the next 4 days?

Deep sympathies, that wall is truly as bad as a wall can be, with no redeeming qualities at all!

its drying up today...   I'd join you but am off to France tomorrow so busy packing

You're welcome to borrow a pad or two though if you want to get out, I'm in St. Agnes on the north coast. 

PM me if so
