Good Afternoon all,
The forecast for tomorrow is good so thia meet is on. Recognising the travel time to Langdale I will be leaving Cockermouth about 2 which should get me on the crag by about 3:15If you are going tomorrow I would appreciate a heads up as the crag is quite spread out so finding club members can be tricky, Also if you would like to lift share from Cockermouth or be picked up en-route I am happy to do that.
As usual please do not reply directly to this email but instead email to markward1962@gmail.com or via the KMC Whats App group
Cheers
Mark

Another balmy evening met the KMC “home Guard” (not in the Dollies) as they arrrived at the ODG Car Park. The short walk in led to the usual amount of huffing, puffing and groaning which was, no doubt, amplified by the ambient weather.
The crag was in perfect condition warm and dry with just a little breeze, routes climbed included Bilberry Butress, Original route, Centipede and Evening wall. KMC members in attendance were Roland, Jonathan, Mark M, Dan, Ros, Pete W, Mike Wilson, and Mark W and I think it is safe to say everyone thorougly enjoyed their climbing.
The evening was finished perfectly with a pint sitting outside the ODG as the sun set around us, even a last ditch assault by the midges failed to spoil what was a very congenial evening.
Cheers
Mark
