Thank you Carole for another great meet – even the weather was organised well to provide some sun and no rain. Great spot with excellent views.

The weather forecast is looking good for Wednesday at the moment with a bit of wind which might keep the midges away. We’ll retire to the Packhorse later on. Hope to see! Rachel and Paul

Yesterday’s view over Loch Long, just an excuse to try out the phone app. Well done to all involved!

Please take a look around see what you think

Helen and I caused great consternation by confessing that this was our first visit to The Pits. The local Greenfield cognesenti couldn’t understand how we’d managed 25 years in the vicinity without a trip. We were just waiting for the right evening! When better than a Rucksack Club evening meet and a good turn out despite earlier rain. Gorgeous light, great company and good climbing – no giveaways!  Andy’s lead of Spanner Wall was the high point of the evening (tough even on a top rope)  and Jeff’s ascent of Plumb Line was a great effort, despite the dodgy shoulder.  Climbing until the sun went down.  Grand!
