These are photos taken during our "UCLMC" trip to Pembroke. Not that there were actually any UCLMC members there, but it wasn't a North London club meet, because they were there but went climbing elsewhere. Or something. Look at the pictures, they're great.
Hmm. Something odd happening with the focus on this one

(Rating:3)
Yah, definitely the cliffs, and the sun.

That's a boat full of people with lifejackets on. Admire the artistry of this picture, as if there was any in its taking.
