Another great report Alan - OK I know there are several but each has its own viewpoint :D

I'm beginning to wish I hadn't stayed at home because of the weather forecast last weekend :( If you are going back, would you be happy to have others joining you ? Depending on dates and if I can manage it, I'd be interested (although also rather scared having looked at the photos and not sure whether I'm good enough at scrambling) ?

Its a pity you stayed at home, for me the weather was perfect for this one :D
Absoloutley no problem with anybody joining us the more the better :D we can try and get something organised. We could get Stretch to guide us :D
I will not be out now until mid july and JB is keen to get this done soon
I wouldnt worry too much about the scrambling, just take your time and enjoy. like we all did :D and pray for good weather :lol:

I will let you know when we will be thinking of doing this :D

Thanks
Alan

Excellent Alan - thanks. Will look out for this. Family summer holiday may get in the way but here's hoping. :D

Thanks for all the WRs on this one and well done all involved
Great pics that bring back great memories and I hope some of the camera angles do not put people off too much. Even with my vertigo I 'ultimately' enjoyed our own day, slowly and with an experienced friend - most of the fear is in the thoughts before the day.

Really agree with Alan's sentiments

Agree that some of the camera angles make some parts look worse than they actually are and i know that some of us were up half the night worrying about this (eh gammy) :lol:
