Making hay while the sun shines

Project no more, I finally completed the Dug out link up last night to produce 'Bases Loaded v10'. Like all things when it all goes well it felt not too bad on the send and I'm really physced to finish it up. This little cave has some classic lines now and has something at every grade from V5 to V10.

It gets really bad in that little cave when it's wet not because it seeps but because there is a natural water coarse that runs over the lip of the cave making the slopey top out impossible for weeks after rain. The conditions have been perfect there recently, probably some of the best I'd ever seen it in, so the pressure was really on to finish it before the rain comes again.

Happy Days

The coast now has 3 V10's and a slew of problems V8 or harder.

I also took a walk out to the Happy Place at Dark Forrest and found a nice new access that avoids the long walk/scramble/trespass access. So now it's a nice stroll to the top of the cliff to enjoy the view then duck down into the cave and it won't disturb any neighbours which is great! I'll update some access details in the guides soon.
