but the_dom why just those nasty brown stones?! :wink: we have many of the slimy white variety, and they will be ok in August (September is probably a better proposition), so come and see our beautiful countryside when its sunny rather than in December when it rains!
the main problem with grit in the heat is that your skin will deteriorate rapidly unless you can excersise great self-control. We've all seen visiting americans/germans at at the plantation in summer with every single fingertip taped up!
or you can do what we did, and head out at 1am. Lastnight, after a session in the pub, we headed out ot Burbage North. Thinking it owuld be really cold we brought plenty of clothes. As it turns out, it wasn't even very cold. The rock was fairly cool, but certainly not cold, and the air temperature, at a guess, was probably somewhere between 8-10 degrees C. Pics to follow!
