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?

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.

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.
