Wouldn't it be nice to get a few scalies up gower for a bit of a scale fest?
Last week of august, anyone up for it?

[Phill Tadman]

Hey Jimbo,

Yep.

I would love to Jimbo, but I think the climb would kill me.The last time I was up there with you made me require three heart stents and a pacemaker. I've promised the doctors that I would now only climb down hills.

Guys,
There is the NW slope. This requires only 50m flat walking. So no excuses. The landing can be challenging if it's very windy, but I'm sure we are up to the task.
Terry, Great to hear you're fixed. It would be great to get yourself, Simon, Chris and Elliott (now local) down ?
Phil, be good to have you along.
There are some nice spots to stay nearby but you'd need to book and take a chance on the weatger, or a chance on accommodation available if you want to wait for confirmation of a window.
Of course id like to bring the fox but currently under repair so it may be the big 20.

Jimbo,

I think I’ll camp during a good weather window.

Will probably bring my Paritech ASW20 and possibly Antares if weather right.

Indeed Dave, Rhossili flies Wsw-wnw, there is a hike up, and there is a more difficult NW slope,
Elliot has said he will attend, at this rate we can have a bit of a slope fest
Ill be in the area whatever, and make a weather call three of four days before.

Here was the last one. A vids of the main slope.

Hi
What's the accommodation situation like for Gower?
Is there suitable camping facilities nearby ?

I may well join you, with the Salto. Fairly local for me.
