Fantastic report & photos Dougie
But, you can keep those ledges to yourself
To save climbing in and out each day, could you "say", camp in a cave ?????
Cheers Gra
I've actually done that before, but that involves carrying an extra heap of gear in and isn't the most comfortable arrangement with 3 people.

10/10; respect for the gusto - hell of an effort to execute but definitely worth it.

PS: Why is Ed wearing a bulletproof vest?

It's a life jacket. Carl and I wear red auto inflaters, we're not sure what happened to the third one so this was the next best option. Doubles as a bad Roman Reigns cosplay too.

Bloody great effort Cam. The work you put it would have made it all the sweeter.

Well done Doug and Carl too. One of these days I gotta join you boys for a salmon sess atleast.

Honestly we went for salmon once this year, landed 3-4 and got back to planning trips we probably can't afford to go on.
