By few but Shepherds trod

The two week spell of fine weather was coming to an end.  Only one day left - Monday 28th March.  Fortunately NB back in the loop just in time to make the most of this end of month bonanza.  Hasty plans made on Sunday and away out west first thing next day.

Our one day mission, to explore new valleys, seek out new trails and crags, to find New Lands! To boldly climb beyond the beyond, beyond where no one has climbed beyond before.... well for maybe a couple of years......

The route.  Double Slab, Vdiff in the guide but today's conditions more like Severe,





The last pitch was fairly straightforward although rather run out.

All the attributes of a Big Day in the North









Long walk, over 300m height gained, remote crag, airy lairy route, pub, late back.

How delicate the leafy vale
