Weekend 26-27 July is a possibility. I've even ticked another HS now so I am sure I will be perfect to come up some exposed chossy HVS horror show sandbag with you.

Um...

I think I've spotted a flaw

Can do none of those. Cycling first two, and Alps after that. Would have liked to have done that one.

Sadly I have no room in my summer timetable for any climbing whatsoever. It is monumnetally depressing.

It is doubly worse because I'm spending 4 days in one of the World's best climbing areas without any climbing gear.

Humph.

Cloggy/BBQ sounds good. Let me know if it materialises.
