Hi all email should go around in time but in the meantime here are the details for the Bank hols:


Hello all you budding campers,
 
August is passing through really quickly and the Bank Hols will be with us shortly.
 
Now you ask what would you like to do with your Bank Hols??...........
 
Well Innominata is heading to 'sunny' Pembroke for a spot of:
 
- Camping
- Climbing
- Walking
- Sun bathing/swimming
- And any other activities anyone fancies!! (Coasteering kayking, biking)
 
The plan is to stay at:
 
   St Petrox Campsite:    OS Map OL36.   GR 971975
Situated 3miles from Pembroke on B4319
A small farm campsite behind St Petrox church.

I'm not sure if we need to book individually or turn up so I will try to find out!!
 
Close to the campsite is:
 
Stackpole Pub:

I'm also informed that Pembroke Castle is close by and usually has an event on Bank Holidays if that takes your fancy.
 
Best of all though is the climbing -  not being bias at all!!!
 
A few people have already shown interest - Howard, Helen and Richard, Roger and myself so get your name down for a fantastic sunny dry weekend down in Pembroke
 
Let me know if your planning to come and if anyone fancies a BBQ Sat night - worth bring disposable BBQ as I'm told supermarket often runs out!!

(Thank you Margaret and Howard for info)
 
Extra info from Howard:
 
From Pembroke town, take the B4319 - it will probably be signposted to St Govans, Stackpole or Bosherton.  When you get to St Petrox, which is just a church and a farm, the road makes a sharp zig-zag.  Follow the road as it makes a sharp right and go past the church, then when the main road turns back left, turn RIGHT into a a narrow lane. The gate to the campsite is immediately on the right.

We usually camp in the lower field - from the main gate bear slightly leftwards and go through another gate, and look for us.  I believe there are a few electric hook-ups but you'll need to be in the upper field, and will probably have to book - call the farm.
 
The site has very basic facilities, but is luxury compared with most in the area.  There are 2 showers and 3 toilets, so queues can be lengthy at peak times - wet wipes and pee bottles are useful.  There are fridges and freezers for cool blocks and food, but these must be labeled (you can get labels from the farm).
 
There are no pubs in walking distance so bring appropriate supplies.  Pembroke has pubs, restaurants (including a decent chippy) and a small supermarket.  But no gear shop, so make sure you don't forget anything. There's also a pub at St Govans, but it can get busy, and also the famous Ma Weston's tea shop.

Anyone interested in travelling down a day or two early?

For anyone heading towards Froggatt next Tuesday from the Macclesfield area, please note that the B5470 will be closed at Kettleshulme for 3 days from 16 August.

Count us in please. Always a brilliant weekend - fantastic climbing, great location and the campsite is one of our favorites! Looking forward to the usual BBQ on the beach as well.

We are taking an extra couple of days off work so we can travel down Friday and come home Tuesday. That's the plan but we will watch out for the weather forecast.

Helen and Richard (and Sam)

Just a reminder that the August Bank Holiday meeting is at St Petrox
Campsite.
Further information will be put out  soon via email  by Rachel S.

Regards, Margaret

We have got a pair of men's grey socks (now washed) which had been stuffed into Richard's boots in the drying room last weekend.

Request from Pat and Jenny (Hannay); anyone got a kid's Tag-along they want to pass on/sell? (not the Tailer-gator, or whatever it's called!).

Mike

Anyone heading for the Roaches via Macclesfield should be aware that the Silk Road (A523) is closed between Prestbury and Tesco (junction with B5470).  There is a diversion via the town centre (watch out for the Gatso near Tytherington School) but it might add a few minutes to the journey.

Hi Andy,
Suzie and I are interested in something later in the year. Maybe mid October. Sport or trad but with easy grades.

Dave

There is one place left so if anyone wants it please phone, email or text me asap. Don't miss out on a brilliant location for climbing, scrambling and walking.
