Hi Jill, a terrific record of what appeared to be a great day out. I'm glad I missed the via ferrata though, your photo looking down 800ft was enough to make me feeel a bit odd. Best wishes, Dave.

Hi Jill, it was a wonderful weekend. Your photos tell the story so well. It really was that wet! Nice set of photos in the Yew Tree as well. It was great to meet up with you again. Pam x

Hi Jill. A great set of photos and a great reminder of a weekend none of us will forget in a hurry. Your people pictures are, as Jill B says, really good. Hope we can do it again some time. Jo
