Title: Wed - Fri next week - Wales / Yorks / Lancs / Peak etc??
Post by: Fiend on May 01, 2016, 02:03:31 pm: I'll be down in Chester on Wednesday and free from Wed evening onwards. The forecast looks decent so I'm keen to climb if anyone is available. I'd be up for Wales (low-lying stuff, Gogarth South / Clwyd especially), Yorkshire (lime sport/trad or grit if cold), Lancs, Peak (again if cold enough for grit). I have a car, gear, and know all of the areas well. I'll be looking to get some low-mid extreme mileage, am happy to abseil for gear, second easy stuff and belay on harder stuff and spot on whatever.

Please contact me ASAP at fiendophobia [at] googlemail [dot] com or 07958343645, cheers.

Post by: Fiend on May 04, 2016, 10:30:56 pm: No worries TT. I went and got the inspirational new guide, went to Helsby, recced a lot and then got scared soloing Angel's Face which is rather rounded at the top!

Doylo plans are Pinfold tomorrow, Rhinnogs Friday, maybe more Rhinnogs Sat if the showers come later, or maybe try to get to the Range if czeque is heading over (very tentative) if any of that falls through (e.g. showers come early on sat), I'll try to post on here cos I wouldn't mind a bit of sport dabbling.

Pinfold tomorrow

Be warned - word is that someone has dumped some substance at one end of the crag, making it currently a bit unpleasant.

Post by: r-man on May 05, 2016, 12:11:02 pm: Ah. Thought it was an odd enough name that there wouldn't be more of them. Google reveals there are many.

Probably related to the meaning of pinfold (https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=define+pinfold) and the suitability of quarries for such tasks in times gone by (may have been herds rather than strays though).
