About two foot deep here, Terry! I had an interesting drive back from
Barnstaple around midnight last night.

Hi Terry, no worries! It must be on the southside of the moor and not
the coast. Dad just tried to get to Lynton (from Barnstaple), got as
far as the other side of Shirwell and no further. Got about 6-8
inches there.
Might try and get up on the moor somehow tomorrow! haha

Ok Terry I will check back here tomorrow morning. If there is no update

Chris and Marcus. It is looking as if the snow is not going to get into
North Devon so I dont feel that the trip will be on. If by some miracle
tomorrow morning presents a different picture I will get in contact
before 10am. Terry

Henners Hill  http://www.flickr.com/photos/exmoor_climber/2183292819/sizes/o/ should be doable no matter what the conditions if you fancy that sort of route. I don't mind going out in the rain, get back on here thursday evening after the forecast, we can make a decision then. Terry

Hey All,

Does anyone fancy doing some climbing or scrambling on Friday the 30th
or Monday the 2nd?

Chris

I have been lumbered with dog sitting this xmas period. I took the hound
up on to Dunkery this morning hoping I could get above the freezing fog.
No such luck, its really grim up there. Descended to Bossington and
found that the pay and display has been activated. 50p for two hours.
£2 for a whole day. Not too bad but I will expect sun for £2.

Hi Terry thanks for that. I am out this evening but I will check the
site as soon as I return, or early morning tomorrow.
As I think you are aware, I haven't done any formal scrambling or
gullying before, but I would love to go down the great red or the
Coddow slip. I have no climbing/scrambling equpiment at all, would
this be a problem? If so I amprepared to give it a miss.
Is there anything I need to bring? I will bring warm clothes and I
might bring my camera. Do you normally take a packed lunch?
Sorry for all the questions, Kind regards

Marcus

Hi there, if you are planning on going somewhere on the Devon side of
the coast I would be interested in doing this if I am free friday! I
will know tomorrow if I can make it.

Marcus

Hey Terry,

Does you or anyone else fancy going out for a bit of gullying or
scrambling on Friday if the weather is ok but just a bit cold! :) It's
been ages since I've been out, sorry I could not make the last weekend.

Chris

Going to have a look at the bottom of Miners Gully and see how far up I can get before the tide forces a decision between continuing or retreating. If it is calm there should be a tidal window of just under three hours. We would need to be on Blackstone beach at 1130 and have an idea of the outcome by 1400.

Parking at the Girt Farm track / road  junction at 1030. GR SS 597467. Get back to me via the reply button if you are going. Terry

Hello Jon, hope you are well. Its true what they say, you only remember the trips that did'nt go to plan. I seem to remember being told that you nearly drowned. The photos are still on here. CLICK.  The tide is no good on xmas eve. The nearest day is Sunday 14th Dec if you are home early, also I should be reasonably sober which I would not be on xmas eve. Terry

Hi everyone

A couple of years ago a few of us went off on a traverse on Christmas
Eve. Was a fantastic day and I thought a great way to kick off the
festive period! Hoping to organise something similar again this year.
It may be cold - but I'm sure a hip flask of mulled wine and the odd
mince pie could make it worthwhile :-)

Would anyone else be up for it. Would only need to be for a couple of
hours, depending what the tides up to that day etc... If your
interested just reply here, email me on jsparkes4409@... or
drop me a text on 07815462425.

Take care

Jon

Hey Terry,

I'd like to come along on Sunday. I have some friends staying over on
Sat night so I might be a bit late as they won't be leaving till around
9 on Sun, but I'll try to be there at 10:30.

I shall be down at Hurlstone on Sunday clunking about in big boots
getting in some practice for North Cleave Gut and Miners Gully. Got to
be done this winter before I get too old. I will be in the car park at

Hi Chris, I checked the forecast and decided not to go out this
weekend. The two gullies I have in mind, North Cleave Gut and Miners
Gully have water flowing down them. It looks as though it is going to
be wet tomorrow which will make them much worse. Hopefully it will dry
up by next weekend. Terry.

It must be down to the damp summer. These things are sprouting out of

the circuit of the two gullies today. No noticable changes. The
bottom of Great Red is firmer with much of the fine shale removed
leaving a bare floor on the west side of the gully. Coddow Slip has
improved with the horse having trotted off somewhere. The rock step
has a film of water over it and the steep red shale above is largely
covered with turf making it a much easier ascent. Terry
