Mark W, Carol and Cath all arrived in good time to climb at head end. Aileen joined us, soloing with Steve, and all went well until Jon’s arrival heralded the slow start of the rain arriving, earlier than expected. Several climbs were done prior to the rain, Dodgy Neck, Nippo Crack, Controlled Gurning, West End Direct and Head End Chimney. However, the rain intensified and the sodden group left. Aileen and Steve extended an invitation to their Bably Barn bouldering wall, so a few boulder problems in the dry with refreshment rounded off the afternoon/evening. Thanks to Aileen and Steve for their invite and hospitality.
