Another Spain trip

[phil]

Any SWCC members interested in a week-long light weight expedition to the Eastern Massif, Picos de Europa?  A few good leads to follow up but require some more manpower / cost saving.

Dates are Friday 3rd September ? to Tuesday 14th September (these are ferry dates but nothing to stop people flying out to join up mid-week)

PM for details, or via club mailing.

I am actually doing some caving at that time across the border in Portugal, as I have transport i was thinking of maybe popping along for some of the days depending on time and how much caving I do in Portugal and how energetic im feeling. what the location your staying at?

Hi Lizzy
The plan is to stay in Sotres, with maybe some overnight bivys on the mountain.

More than welcome to pop over.

Phil, do you know if the White House is still being used? I know it was developed as a Refugio many years ago and just wondered if it's still going strong.

Remember our little trip there Joel?

Yes still being used as a refugio.  Never seems to many people there and bottles of coke still ridiculous price.
