1. Climbing on Foula
1 month ago
Pete Willance, Murray Hamilton et al climbing on Foula's huge sea cliff. Featuring a cameo by Johnny Dawes.
Unsure when it was first aired, my father burnt it to DVD from an old VHS tape he had for decades.
Well worth a watch!
From Climb Shetland Forums:
"I tried to contact Pete Willance about it but with no success. I gather it wasn't a particularly happy trip. It was all the idea of a young lass who somehow got obsessed with it despite being not much of a climber. It would have remained an adolescent pipe-dream were it not for the fact that Daddy was a Beeb executive and knew which strings to pull."

Prev week
For other viewers - I was one of the 6 Navy guys who got a little slagging by the islander for leaving our ropes on our attempt in 1972. Of course she wasn't there and didn't know the conditions we had to deal with. But, it's always easier to slag people off than try and find out the facts.
Good to see what that 800 ft above where we got to looked like anyway.
Thanks again.
