Nice one! I thought about suggesting it to her ladyship after watching progression, but I need a sound business case which generally includes a minimum of 4 star accomodation. Is that a possibility?

There are some gorgeous s/c chalets on the farm just the other side of Rocklands (can't remember name) . We got the basic one which was still very nice, but the upmarket one looked amazing. And you can stay in 4 star luxury in numerous hotels in CT.

had a little piece of YYFY yesterday (literally, it was Si's arete), only slightly put in the shadow by a buddy doing her "three projects for the year" at the cliff in one afternoon....

Rich Crouch finally did Popcorn Party down at Porth Ysgo yesterday.  It has been a four year struggle for the lad and the final ascent was a nailbiter but he hung on in there and just about got up it.  Made up for him.  I think he'll go far.

Les Gets. The report today says:

“Skiing doesn't get much better than this! A foot of snow fell over the weekend, with more snow forecast for Wednesday. Clear blue skies and great skiing with empty slopes greets anyone lucky enough to be on holiday!”

Check it:

Jackpot!
