Hey Henners,

Yeah i've heard Chedder gorge is pretty overrated - but never been there meself - lots of birds that poo on you and various other distractions -tourists etc...

It's a bit of a hike but well worth heading up to the Peak district, North Wales and the Lake district for the weekend if your dad could be conned into that - I'd esp recommend some of the routes around Wass water in the Lakes - a nice novelty route there too - Napes needle - apparently first Rock climb rather than mountaineering - so I'm told.

Also Cornwall and the South cost is supposed to have some good sea cliffs..

As for insurrance - I think the Uk is pretty cool in that they'll look after you for free in hospital - don't quote me on this - but everyone always moaning about non british residents retiring to the UK and getting free medical care.. eek! (I so don't want to get into a debate on this..don't care...)

I suppose though this info a wee bit too late;if you back in tassie so soon - Where else did you make it too in Uk? and what was your fave route?

Thans for posting always good to know what others are up to... Think I may be heading to tassie at Xmas..Look forward to reading your TRs so i can use them to plan my trip...

And welcome to chocky. x
