We need to be extremely careful in situations like these, the Yak call could trigger avalanches.

Hhaahah, brilliant  ;D

I'm afraid I'm still a maybe for this. The whole family is doing a bit of vomiting at the mo.

Anyone any idea what it might be like up there come the weekend? The forecast is a bit vague.

How about if the weather isnt favorable for climbing/bouldering we head to the Hotrock for a couple of hrs?
'Why are you wearing your pajamas?'
'They're not pajamas! It's my warm-up suit'
'Why do you need warming up for?'
'For doing stuff'
'What kind of stuff?'
'Super-cool stuff you wouldn't understand'
'Like sleeping?'

Nice backup plan but as long as there's no rain, we'll be climbing the Coldrocks at Hen.  :)

I know, half my weight is on climbing kit (Not including the rope (so watch out dave or Osin one of you are getting that but there might be a little surprise in that for ya)

Also we need to talk about fire logs.

Sorry lads, I'll also not be able to make this one. Too many things going on at home. Have a top trip though, I'll be raging if there's snow  :'(

Yeah we need to do a bit of organising. If we're carrying lots of weight we need to probably share some stuff.

I was just going to buy a ready meal from Cotswold or something, so would only need hot water. Think we could share a stove between us? I'm not sure what the thoughts are at sharing a tent.

I could dangerously volunteer to bring a firelog and hobo stove?

I'll pack my bag later tonight when I'm home from work and see what I have space wise

I will put 2 fire logs in the boot if anyone has space. I have my one man tent so cant share there (My vango is a lump). I dont mind sharing my jetboil with ya if you carry a spare gas can.

I will be buy a little chineese before we go to have up there.

I'll leave some space for a firelog then and then a gas canister. Do you want me to buy a canister while I'm in Cotswold?

What about Dave and his tent? I've never heard your set-up, I'd hate to see you haul a 4Kg 3 man tent up by yourself. Wouldnt be as enjoyable for you.

Just bring a small one as it could get cold and one might under perform

To be honest i'm having second thoughts about this as i really don't like the look of the weather so i'm gonna play it by ear tomorrow. I'll pack my bag tonight and i'll be bringing as much as i can, mini trangia, fuel and water, and i'll grab a firelog as well. This is my tent here if anybody needs to share:

I'll bring my daypack with climbing gear as well, but again i'll know exactly what i'm doing tomorrow.
