Celestial Bar In The Dark Event 3 Daylight

So GC4CX6V Celestial Bar in the Dark-Daylight the 3rd CBITD Event, and the most extreme yet.

This one took a lot of planning, involving detailed referencing to Tide Tables. It also had the first Camping Event, connected to CBITD Events GC4HHNH Go Wild 'Camping' on Anglesey

The Event was organised to visit GC12QCH Moe's Tavern which is a genuine high Terrain cache

We meet at the car park and after handing out the Celestial Bars [having learnt my lesson] we made our way down to the beach

In the picture can be seen the entrance to the Sea Cave, you have to access to get on top of the island.

Now in the week running up to the Event, I'd already made a Reckie visit, only to have failed to get on the top, due to my fear of heights. as after a scramble, you have to climb up 3 ledges, the last one being 1.2m bellow the Islands surface. Means a return journey, involves lying down and putting your feet over the edge, and lowering yourself down on to a tiny ledge.

So on the day of the Event, there was a Access Team, with Ant - CBITD Charon, going ahead and putting out a Grab Rope. Others on the Access team, helping people up and down the climb.

The Group set off from the Beach ad had to Traverse the Walk of Death

Walking on this is worse than walking on Ice.

Once cleared, we were at the Sea Cave Enterance

And our upward scramble started

until we could see Daylight, and with the help of the Access Team, got on to the Island. Which is where the Acrophobia kicked in again. I stood in the centre of the island, my knees knocking and wind pipe constricting.



I made myself stand and watch, until only the Access Team and myself were left, before going down. Only whilst scrambling down, to slip, and drive my shin from ankle to knee down a rock.



Once outside the Sea Cave, I stood and waited, until all the Access team were out, before we all made our way back to the Beach
