Stanage edge, Gritstone meet

we had driven up to the usual campsite last night and settled in aware that the forecast was not brilliant.

We woke up to rain coming down heavily so after breakfast we all headed for the Hathersage tea shop, and some retail therapy

After lunch things brightened up so a group of us headed for Stanage edge and climbing in the clouds we managed a few traditional lines...
Flying Buttress
Black hawk traverse
Cave crack

Calling time early we all dropped back tot eh campsite ..  where after tea and heading for the pub Dave announced that his mate Adrian was running a BBQ in Robin Hoods cave. Bundling into Bryon's car (several trips) we all finished the night with several too many beers and far too many 1lb beefburgers.
