Brittle Bone Coast MXS

Professional Mountain instructor and AMI member Dave Talbot has just dropped me a line having just completed some filming work with the BBC's Coast programme. Dave took Coast presenter Andy Torbet out on a new routing trip on chalk faces of the Needles, Isle of Wright during the freak Indian summer 2 weeks ago.
