| Dave leads Gangway Climb. Peter on belay duty. |
The plan was to climb on Raven Crag Langdale, but meeting in the Old Dungeon Ghyll car park, with the cloud down on the tops, it was clear the crag would be wet. Change of plan: Castle Rock of Triermain. Only problem was that no-one had a guidebook. This issue was tackled in various ways: George knew the crag well and could point out the routes, where their cruxes were, and what the gear was like.

Ken at the opposite extreme treated it like a big adventure and gleefully set off up the crag assuming there'd be a route up there somewhere!

The rest chatted up other climbers and got a look in their guidebooks.

Either way, the sun came out, the rock was rough and dry, and it turned into a great day out.

By evening the valley was looking gorgeous but the midges were ferocious, and the last of us left by 6.30pm.
