Comments: Hi all, Who said the weather matters?, what a fantastic week end !!!! I want to say thanks to everyone for that great time, too. When a "back markers" week end? Any excuse to go away, Cork is nice , but away is much better. To the people in holidays: enjoy yourselves, life is beautiful (and as John Healy says : "the alternative isn't very good"). To the people working: take it easy and enjoy yourselves as well. See you soon!

Glorious I tellya, scrambling that would have pleased even Cormac. AND ham sandwiches for lunch. Anyhoo, Vive la France as they say here, au revoir pour l'instant et les petits pois sur les bonbons.

If the weather is looking dodgy,Rory's idea of

Comments: My idea re. ropework would basically be what Brian is talking about - a day of scrambling on ridges and gullies in the Reeks (other locations might be more interesting, but well-known and well-worn routes would be better for training). I was surprised to learn recently that some of our most promising climbing comrades haven't been up Howling Ridge yet (you know who you are!) so that's one obvious option - Pippet's Ridge, Luigis Gully and the Hag's Tooth Ridge would be other options. A pupil:teacher(!!) ratio of 2:1 would probably be best. These long mountain routes should give us enough opportunity to practise roping up, moving together, belays, placing gear etc. etc. (Rachel - your suggestion that I would twist what you said re. roping up into something smutty was most inaccurate and potentially harmful - kindly remember that this comment page is available in the USA and any suggestions of inappropiate behaviour could render me liable to the back of the Captain-elect's hand - I bruise very easily!!)Anyway, we could even consider staying in the mountain hut in the Eagle's Nest on Saturday night - a few bags over the matresses, a stove & food and tents for any extra bodies could make for a geat night - plus the fact that we would be spared the walk-in the next morning and could be on the routes by 9AM with ease. Also, my final point in this record-breaking comment: are all the Alpine virgins aware that you will probably need prussiks and an ice screw each for safety on the glaciers? - and the knowledge of how they are used? Bye for now!

A small point perhaps, but Prusucking is something entirely different and, though loosely related to S&M and bondage, has little to do with mountaineering - depends on the tastes of the mountaineer I suppose. You want to be careful with such details and the various double entendres, as the outgoing Captain has a mind like a sewer and is still trying to corrupt the rest of us even though she only has a few hours left to do so!!

Comments: Well, it's nice to be in touch with the Comment Page of the Bridge, Curtain-Making, Knitting, Poodle Grooming and other sedate pursuits Club again!! I went out with the Mountaineering Club a few times and if they organised a party, BBQ, etc., they would simply issue a National Grid Reference to all comers and let them find their own way there!! Can you believe it!! Of course, one must keep in mind that these hardcore people had done navigation training courses, were capable in the use of the map and compass, led groups of walkers on the wild and dangerous Irish hills on a regular basis and, wait for it, some were even planning to go to the Alps!!!! These people are clearly a different breed from us mere mortals and so it's really nice to be away for all that and to have hand-drawn maps and detailed directions made available!! (Nice map by the way Ruth!!) In case any of those horrible climbers do want to go the BBQ, they should note the following: W1702,0675 (my best guess without a Discovery Series Map) Roll on the Bridge, Knitting, Curtain-Making, Poodle Grooming and other sedate pursuits Club!!

Are ye all camping extraordinaires at this stage. Also, can I now be an honorary member of the NACC's since I no longer reside in far off Alpine places. All the non-NACC members are safe and well in Ailefroide, climbing peaks and so forth and as far as I know Bryan Feeney is coming home any day now. Conor is gone joining TTR and Diarmo in Chamonix (or going sometime soon) and the rest are doing the same or perhaps staying in Ailefroide a bit longer. That all the info for the minute cos' I must go and wash all my gear after the camping.I took half of the camp-site home in my rug-sack.

This trip would be the equivalent of two days semi-tough hill-walking, spread over three days with three nights camping so bring whatever you'll need bearing in mind that YOU'LL have to carry it from monday evening to friday afternoon. the pace won't be hectic but you will start to smell a bit. some whiskey will be provided. Oh yeah bring sandals or other evening footwear. I know that this sounds a bit organised and anal and all that but believe you me this trip will be absolutely fuckin' stoked.....

Hi folks - How have all the NACC'ers been? I might join ye for a day in the Galtees if I can - I'll be in touch with JK about it. 
 
 Sean, I met Diarmuid in Saas Grund, Switzerland, on the 22nd and they (Diarmuid, Meredith, TomTom and Colm) stayed in the same campsite as us (Tony, John, Aidan and I) for at least a week - I left on the 28th and they were still there. They'ed climbed the Weissmies (4023m) and the Alallinhorn (40..m) and were planning more. If they climbed Monta Rosa, they must have moved west into the Matte valley as planned and will probably move to Chamonix soon - don't worry about the lack of Diarmuid-like phrases in the message - it's probably a combination of the altitude and the Sun-In hair colour and will pass with time - enjoy the calm for a while anyway!

I'm not convinced by the last few entries
 here from the so-called Cham. As you know,
 Meredith is (for a few more weeks) the captain
 of the Dublin University Boat Club, and we all
 know what they get up to(Mars bars spring to mind).
 It's obvious from the tone of Rory's entry above 
 that something horrible has happened, probably
 involving steroids and strokes and the dreaded
 "cox". This is what happens when you let rowers
 like Meredith join up, what I most feared. Expect
 to see them all in the gym doing bicep curls while 
 watching themselves in the mirror when they

Gear: Diarmo's frying pan and pot grab
Comments: Sorry Diarmo, I don't have them, the morning I left Chamonix they were either next to the food box outside your tent or else soaking next to the sinks after that enormous fry-up that Tom and Meredith did the night before. Hope they show up.

Gear: a pitchfork!
Comments: anyway folks, whats this about pitchforks and eejits in mayo, i dare he who hides behind Mr. Melanophy to reveal himself ( i'll bet it's a he ). Anyway Mr. Melanophy, you're a chicken! and a munster one at that! Oh! Rachael how on earth are you, glad to hear you arrived back in one piece. You never know what came happen one when one is stuck in a car with one's parents for a week. I'd give anything to have the piss-up the weekend of the 25th but I've arranged with a friend to be in Kerry, will explain later. If it isn't happening for everyone else perhaps the weekend after wouldn't be bad! Also congratulations on your endeavours, the NACCS in the Galtees. Bye for now, Tricia.
