Wye valley meet 16-17 March

The first (loosely) organised club meet of the year is coming up next weekend, 16-17 March, in the Wye Valley. Email me on meets@nlmc.co.uk if you’re keen, and say if you’ve got a car or not and I’ll try to sort out lifts.

Here are the details:
Venue: the lower Wye valley – Wintour’s Leap and Shorn Cliff being the nearest crags to the campsite. Nice and sunny and sheltered. Good views of Tintern Abbey. What more could you ask for in the spring? 🙂

Accommodation: I suggest staying in the Beeches Campsite – it’s a 30 minute walk to Shorn Cliff and a ?5 minute drive from Wintour’s Leap. £6 per person per night, showers are £1 for 4 minutes. I’ve warned them so we don’t need to book. More details are on p24 of the 2007 CC guidebook. I think this is where it is:https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=the+beeches+campsite+chepstow&hl=en&hq=the+beeches+campsite+chepstow&t=m&z=15

There are apparently two pubs within walking distance, one of which seems to be the Country Inn in Brockweir. Apparently one of them is likely to be showing the rugby on Saturday afternoon (kick-offs 2.30, 5 and 8 so plenty of time for climbing first!)

Weather: for what it’s worth, the forecast at the moment appears to be dry. Nearer the time, if it is looking bad I’ll suggest an alternative location or cancel if it’s bad everywhere.
