Saturday dawned and there was a little mist hanging in the valley. The mist soon cleared and suddenly we had a glorious day for climbing. Unfortunately I had a busy day indoors with committee meetings and hanging out at Plas Y Brenin making sure everything was set up for the afternoon’s and evening events…
It was the CC’s Welsh Dinner, in fact it was the third of three Centenary Guideboook celebrations, continuing the celebration of 100 years of continuous definitive guidebook publication!
The programme started at 4pm, and despite over 90 people booking for the dinner, a fraction of those decided to abandon the crags (and the best weather all summer!) and venture indoors – who can blame them. 😉 Despite the small crowd (maybe 35 people) for the Guidebook Forum, chaired by Pete, it went really well with some excellent feedback.
The night’s events went really well too. An exciting photo competition (with cash prizes!) judged by Ray Wood, a great dinner, a fantastic talk with slides by Tut Braithwaite, and finishing off with watching the festival cut of Alastair Lee’s film On Sight.
Sunday wasn’t quite as sunny as Saturday, but that didn’t stop us having a great time at Tremadog.
Saturday was an amazing organisational achievement Laetitia! So even though I’m clearly biased – a great job done! :star: :star: :star:
I’m super glad I managed to get out climbing though… I had my arms (fingers anyway) pulled out of their sockets on Eleventh Hour by Steve in an area of Tremadog that still needed a few routes checking. It’s an incredible E4 (or IMHO, E5, although who am I to judge – Steve is the guidebook author). 😎
Laetitia; I second Pete’s praise for the Welsh Dinner, fantastic effort – I had a brilliant weekend, the CC committee is going to miss you after next March…. :star:
Thanks :good:
I trust you had Welsh Lamb for dinner?!
