Irish Row 2-3rd Feb

[Anna]

Eeeek, thanks for the reminder, Simon!

Does anyone have any spare crampons for size 10 feet (for use on Sunday only), and a couple of ice axes we might be able to borrow? Even one will do.

Alternatively does anyone know somewhere where you can hire them that is close to the hut?

Thanks

Anna

No but I've got some tennis rackets!

I know that Rigby hired some from the gear shop in Ambleside before. It was the one on the corner by the rock shop (the one that disappointingly sells bits of rock and not climbing gear).

Anna - I have 1 set of walking crampons and a walking axe you can borrow.

You can hire kit from http://www.adventurepeaks.com/uk-equipment-hire

I'd suggest if you just need kit for Sunday you might want to collect it the day before as they don't open till 9am.

That's very helpful CJ

[Anna]

Thanks Simon! Please can I take you up on the offer of the crampons and ice axe. So just need one ice axe now. I will be picking Sascha up from the station so will see if there is a gear shop there.

Just rung Cyclewise shop at Whinlatter trail centre (much higher than grizedale), and they said riding conditions are fine, snow has gone for the foreseable. Bosch.

Its forecast to be dry on sat with a bit of sun which is perfect, though a bit nippy and breezy, so bring warm gloves and a spare layer etc.

I'm keen to do Whinlatter on sat, as its my favourite and further away, and Grizedale sculpture land on Sun, and those that aren't walking/paragliding are welcome to join me on both.

Cheers, H

[Anna]

wow, someone is paragliding?

[Huw]

Hopefully a friend Paul is, off the old man of coniston. Forecast doesn't look too windy at the moment

Hi All, I've got a bag of kindling and a bag of logs to bring up, so we don't need any more kindling. Maybe another bag of logs might be good. H
