Rain can't stop revival

This is Andy Say, the dirty so and so!

In spite of wet and windy weather the Tremadog Revival continued on Saturday, thanks to 13 hardy volunteers, who turned up for the second gardening session of the winter. Mike Raine reports.

Armed to the teeth with secateurs, saws and rakes they set about reclaiming your crag and your heritage. The following routes were attacked, cleaned and now await your attention; Knell for a Jackdaw, Atomic Finger Flake, Heartbreak Hotel / Rienetta, Marathon Man, Void, Starship Trooper and even Grim Wall had a trim. The approach to Clapton's Crack has been gardened and there is potential for a new (rediscovered?) pitch to it's right. Rio and Axeminster need another session.

Everyone who contributed to the day was given a Tremadog Climbing Festival raffle ticket. On Festival day (Saturday 24 March) there will be a draw with prizes donated by DMM, V12 Outdoors, Joe Brown's, Pete’s Eats, and some copies of the forthcoming North Wales Rock from Ground Up Publications. Your raffle ticket also allows you access to a free lecture by Stu McAleese on his serious adventure in Patagonia this winter, as well as some free beer! All you have to do to get a raffle ticket is turn up at Eric's Café on Saturday 10 February at 10.00am and take part in our next gardening day. You too can put something back into climbing and win fabulous prizes.

The next BMC Cymru / Wales Area Meeting takes place on Tuesday 6 February at 7.30pm at The Vaynol in Nant Peris, and will discuss abseiling at Bwlch y Moch. Email mikerraine@hotmail.com to reserve your free food.
