Tea and cakes were amazing as ever with some unexpected sunshine as a bonus. This resulted in a dry crag allowing lots of climbing to be done. The normal conga-line up Long climb followed as well as numerous ascents of Tower Face, North Climb and Little Crowberry. With the day's main entertainment being provided by John and Julie's ascent of Cave Crack.

Apologies but I have double booked myself and will be unable to lead the meet at weekend. Heather has kindly stepped in to take over and will be setting off at 10.00am, from the Crowden car park, for the long walk in. Heather has said that, as per usual arrangements, she will carry in brew stuff and a few nibbles. .. contributions to water, cakes, biscuits etc. will be most welcome. Hopefully our Indian summer will continue to dry out the crag and allow climbing to prevail but, if not, I am sure that the cave will once again be the setting for a great social meet. Only sorry that I cannot be there with you!!
