The Peaks approach…

So, speaking of planning, the weekend approaches.  As I see it, currently looking as follows:

Day 1:

All going well, we should arrive at 10.15 on Saturday.  Head out to Derwent Valley for a day of mountain biking.

Days 2 and 3:

Play it by ear:

switch(weather) {
   case good: activity = bouldering or climbing; break;
   case mediocre: activity = geo{cache,hash}ing; break;
   case abysmal: activity = climbing wall; break;
   default: pub and further planning;
}

Any additions/deletions/modifications?  Do we want to be any more organised?  (face it, could we possibly be any more organised? what could go wrong?)

So, we’ll definitely pack harnesses and shoeses; question is: should we bring ropes and gear too?  Quite happy to, as it’s a feasible load (especially with three of us); at the same time, if climbing is not likely to be on the cards, we’ll leave it at home, as hauling great loads of nylon and metal up and down the country for fun is, well, not really that much fun…

I realise that the weather will be a pretty significant factor; will keep an eye on how the forecast develops.

In terms of the long range forecast, I reckon it would be good to get another day/weekend in at Portland before the Summer deserts us (if it hasn’t already); looks like the next free weekend is last weekend in September (27th-28th).  What do people reckon?
