6/7th September - The Roaches, Staffordshire

[Beth]

Whaaat!? I use my arse to climb all the time! I see nothing wrong with that. Alpine knee occasionally makes an appearance. Looking at UKC Black and Tans P2 sounds horrid so I might just buy my own macaroons! Everyone says it's exposed and bold with no gear, and 'Pleasant, though I guess if Severe is your leading limit, be aware that the top section is run-out, hence I'd grade it HS 4a.'

I don't think it's for me.

But would first pitch, no alpine knee or arse win a macaroon?

[Tom]

Go on then, I'll do the second pitch
alt lead counts on a multi pitch

[Vicki]

I was worried about that but it's only the top that's bold and gearless but it's like a scramble rather than a climb and I didn't feel worried in the slightest. And given that I usually lace climbs like a corset it means it must be okay.

[Louise]

Judith also please Beth. I don't mind chicken, sausage or veg. Whatever's easiest.

[Pierce]

Karl
I'd like to go if possible?

Naomi

[Tom]

Can we squeeze matt kettle in as well?

[Anna]

Please can you sign Sascha and me up for the meet - and the Judith, please!

[MattKettle]

Hi Karl,

If it was possible at all to fit me in that would be amazing. Thanks Tom!

Matt

[Vicki]

Right, as I believe Karlos is now off sunning himself in Peru, I've updated the attendees list for the meet.

Matt, Anna and Sacha will have to form a reserves list as it appears that 12 other people got in before them on the hut places. There is a campsite just down the road that could be used as an overflow. (I'm sure the hutees will still allow you in for food and toilet breaks. )

Hi Vic,

You can take me off the list if you like - it looks like I'm moving into a new pad, so probably won't be able to manage the meet at all. Apologies for messing people around!

Cheers,

Joe

P.S. Beth - man up!

[PeterN]

put me down for a judith please beth - an animal version if its not too much trouble, none of that veggie stuff for me

ta

[Vicki]

Thanks for that Joe. I hope your move goes well.

Matt, it means that you have now got aplace in the hut.

[Jules]

Vic
Chloe has asked me to send her apologies as she can no longer go on the meet, boo. I guess that frees up 1 more space though.....A and S may have to fight for it!

[Beth]

Sorry Pete, I was thinking you were veggie, but now I realise that it's Andy who's veggie. One meaty Judith coming up!
