BP joined in at Brantrake cottage for a few days climbing.
Tuesday dawned fine but rain stopped any play, Seathwaite Buttress looked manky anyway. So we took advantage of the bad weather and boinged our way over to Broughton to see about fixing the funny noise from the front near side - turned out to be a busted spring. Left it there for repair and taxied back to Eskdale.
And a couple of trads on a nearby buttress.
Hiked back to Outward Bound Centre, got some useful beta from helpful staff on other local options.
Hitched a ride up the valley, and located Bell Stand Crag above the huge roadside quarry.

Retreat to KG IV for regal tales of derring do.
Lovely morning but start delayed by need to retrieve the wheels.
