No rain or wind in Montagu this morning (I don't think rain will affect play for the weekend)

A wind speed of 164km/hr was recorded at Cableway top station!!

Hey Justin,

Shot for the heads up.
We had a bunch of ppl coming through from George and CT for this weekend, but we all cancelled it because of the weather reports
Hopefully the long weekend coming up will be better

No prob. If you were driving from George then it would not have been worth the risk!

I had to look up the next long weekend date
Friday the 14th of December (Day of Reconciliation)

Yeah, thats the weekend, although I think the Friday is actually the 14'th? Anyhoo, no matter.
It is either Montagu or Rocklands...just depends on how many ppl are keen for either of those...

I was keen to try Cogmans by moonlight this weekend though! THe moon has been crazy bright!

Correct you are - it is the 14th (I corrected my post above)!

Cogmans at night would be fun - when you want to go?

We'll need to organise it so we have a weekend with a full moon...this last Wednesday would have been perfect!

I've not climbed it before though But it shouldn't be too different. The moon is incredibly bright on that face during full moon.

Headtorches??
I've been up a few times.

I assume you'd be keen to do Another Day in Paradise (it goes the highest)?

Honestly, on a clear night you'd have better vis without a torch by letting your eyes just adjust.
I'd be keen for anything.
Not sure what the hardest pitch is (21 on Another Day), but I shouldn't struggle

Agree, that one would not need a torch during full moon.

Perhaps we should do it with no moon

The hardest pitch is 21, but you can easily aid past the move at grade 19 (by pulling on a bolt).

yeah Well I'm keen and dont have a problem OS 21's in the daylight, so should be fine

Great, sometime around the 13th of next month then? The 14th is a Friday

You do realise that in order to onsight the 21 pitch you'll need to lead it

hehehe yeah I realise that.
Not suree that long weekend will be good just yet. Have tentative plans for Rocklands :S This may have to be a January thing

No prob. If you come to Montagu before then, give me a shout and we can head up in the dark.

Q: If anyone has found a white 'Lucky' glove on Cogmans - please contact me.

Sorry to interrupt your conversation and to respond to the original invite...I'm heading to Montagu tomorrow morning and wanted to find what the situation is on the N1? Safe? Or should I take the detour?

Hi jack!

Anyone willing to cart a heatpump from Montague to CT? I am willing to help with your fuel, plus you will feel good - when i get this thing installed, my kids will finally get into the swimmingpool....

There is no protest action.
I think they may still be working on the N1 Between Worcester and Goudini Spa - advise you take the back road past Rawsonville to miss the 'Stop / Go' that is in place.
