The Chudleigh cleanup

Cuttings (Portland) retro-bolting Proposal from Steve Taylor
Alternative venues for these open meetings
Anything you want to talk about

The most interesting thing is Steve's Taylor's proposal to retrobolt the following Portland routes that have no known first ascentionist: Amen Corner, Dee, Aperitif and Hors d'ouevre.

The open meeting is where things lke this are decided, and so if you have an opinion, you should make it known. There will be at least one vehicle heading up from Dorset to the meeting.
