Title: North Wales Monday 20th
Post by: Monolith on November 15, 2006, 07:20:15 pm: Anyone heading out this coming Monday in the North Wales area? I'll consider getting the train over if nobody is driving over from my way.

Looking in that mini topo there are some really nice looking lip traverses and ribs/aretes which look well worthwhile :) Just waiting for the autocrimp finger to get back to something approaching 'normal' size over the weekend! I hope the weather holds out though as the nearest indoor wall is probably Keswick and I found it a bit shite when I popped in the other week! :thumbsdown:

Might be OK for a fast drying venue.

Probably will just go sea fishing as the cod are reputed to be in the Mersey at the moment. (And not the three-headed type which used to prevail).

Go to the f*cking Breck Tom. If it rains, still go and clean it up for us all.
