Got a short trip to Cantabria coming up next week and trying to figure out what trips to do. I have suggested this traverse but some of the others don't want to do much more than 5 hour trips. The English trip reports suggest this trip should be 5 to 6 hours but I have just translated some...

We are sat in the bluebell Inn having a heated debate about doing Birksfell tomorrow. Forecasted possible heavy rain overnight and fine tomorrow afternoon. We know the cave is unsafe in wet weather but does anyone know how quickly it responds to rain. We are hoping there's not much rain and we...

Hi Glenn, Hope you are having a good time out in the vercors. Just wondering how warm it is over there and what is the smallest sleeping bag I can get away with? Also do you need wetsuits? We are struggling with weight limits at the moment so I am trying to cut back on stuff. Cheers Tam
