For anyone who has not seen this on UKC – There has been a recent substantial rock/treefall from the ledge near the top of Revelation/Elevation.

This may have affected these and other routes. It has definately altered the scramble descent negatively. Because of this an abseil station has been set up in the gully to the right ( looking in). See UKC for more details.

Just to say thank you to those who went on the Alps trip to Vallorcine from 7th to 21st July, and who made it such a great and varied trip. Many thanks to Fiona, Hanne, Pete, Paul, John, Andy and Dave for your high levels of energy and motivation, and opening my eyes to the potential of the area.  Also many thanks to Alan and Jesse who gave us very valuable advice before and during the trip!

Although we were a small group, we notched up a lot of rock climbing, alpine mountaineering, via ferrata and walking….  as well as a lot of chilling at the wonderful Camping des Montets…..  I very much appreciate the advice shared by everybody, which not only resulted in us staying at a super campsite, but also helped us to make the best use of the time and have some great mountain experiences.

Suggestion for next year!? – Pete has suggested Innertkirchen in Switzerland, which apparently has similar variety as Vallocine. Bring it on!

Thanks again

Jon

Bookings are open for The Salving House, Rosthwaite September 14th-16th. More info about the meet can be found at forthcoming events.

1. Thanks to all who came today. Was a lovely walk up Pendle from the reservoirs, thank you to the two Jennies, Shirley, Andy H Paul and myself (Amanda) and the two four legged friends Pippa and Freddie.

Hope it wasn’t too horrific stepping over to the dark-side ie Lancashire 🙂

The witches were elusive today maybe it was our muddy wet four legged friends that kept them away.

Hope to get another walking day organised again soon.
