Hot and sunny weather across the UK and a trip to the Roaches for some painfully scraping across Staffordshire grit. Myself and Matt (Cookie) began with a couple of classic Whillans ticks before I fell off some routes and Matt lost part of his nose in a painful dyno.
On a dry but breezy weekend we backpacked the Pembrokeshire coastal path from Castlemartin to Tenby, choosing not to carry on to Saundersfoot so we could watch the World Cup Final! No good coastal backpack is complete with a tank, impressive sea stack and ancient church nestled into the rockface, so fortunately we got all three. Spent the night in Manorbier, which provided endless wordplays.
