The party of 14 was reduced to 12 when two members turned back at the first rockline of The Castle as levels of fitness and wetness were assessed by the individuals concerned (there had been showers throughout the weekend).

 In addition to the slides Ron took quite a few questions from the audience, including explaining how an orchid differs from an ordinary flower. At the end of the question and answer session Ron was very happy to talk with club members about the orchids.
