If one half the club was in Cornwall over Bank Holiday weekend, the other half was in Pembroke. Here you see a very bursting May Cottage.
Terry and John Hollands set off for St Govan’s to ‘warm up’ on Chieftain (4b) and what a sandbagger. The Guidebook committee, who were also in residence, are now considering 5a.
Meanwhile, our friends did some hard thing next to us. Can’t remember name but impressive situation!
Next day we went to Saddle Head passing the famous Huntsman’s Leap on the way. Amongst other things, did the classic Misty Walls.
Needless to say, Old Man of the Hills John Temple wasn’t far away!!!
Later in the week, with weather threatening. we did the atmospheric Blue Sky, said to be the best VS around. Here you see John coming up first pitch with the tide (and retreat) coming in quickly.
John carries on up the very steep and impressive top pitch. Rain was now threatening and the rappel rope (in previous picture) had unfortunately been pulled up by its owners.
Needless to say, we took tea and cakes every afternoon at Old Mother Westons.
Nice post Terry – a bit late though! 😯 🙄 The bank holiday was ages ago, or at least it sure seems like it now.
Paul and I went to Pembroke back in March (http://www.sterling-adventures.co.uk/blog/2009/03/22/pembroke/). It looks like you had almost as good weather as us. 😉
Not sure if your “half” of the club was celebrating the guidebook centenary though?
Probably not celebrating the centenary – it was the committee preparing the new guide.
Hey Pete, the slides and captions have turned out gobbledygook 😕 But what the heck ❗ All sea cliff pictures are the same and all I needed to indicate was the nice blue skies 😀 And the tea shop :yum:
Sorry Terry, I couldn’t work out what was what… 😳 It’s easier when you put little tags in the text for each picture.
