Sun Screen but unfortunately no Ice Cream

It may be the middle of Autumn but there is still T-shirt clad adventure climbing to be had in the UK. Mat, Keith, Dave, Owen and I drove out to Gogarth today and were in for a pleasant surprise. The cliffs of Yellow Wall and Castle Helen catch the sun all day and if anything it was almost unpleasantly warm climbing in just T-shirts. Certainly my feet swelled sufficiently in the heat to make my comfy shoes quite painful. The only major downer on the day was that south stack cafe was shut meaning no ice creams between routes! Bummer!

There were a few other climbers around but there were no tourists, the sea birds have all gone and we finished the day as the evening sun turned the whole crag a golden yellow colour. Does it get much better than this?
