Okay, so Nick and I have come up with a slightly improved weekend plan now that we no longer have anyone riding in our car. We have increased the driving but also increased the likelihood of at-least-a-little-climbing, so the overall boondoggle quotient is probably about the same.
We are now staying in Cambridge tonight and leaving for the weekend at 7am tomorrow morning (probably meaning a 6am wakeup call to get everything organized). From there, we are driving up to the Peak District for bouldering during the day. The general reports I'm hearing are that, although it will be cold (mid-30s F), there is supposed to be sun. I mean, it will be weak, but it will be there. So bouldering.
Once it gets dark (4? 4:30?) or we get cold, we will gather ourselves up and get in the car and drive from there to North Wales -- a 2.5-ish hour drive. Should be arriving at the hut by 6:30 or 7. So there will be plenty of time for joint OUMC/CUMC festivities on Saturday night.
On Sunday, we will spend the day up in North Wales doing probably-not-a-lot. Bouldering? Routes if we were really lucky? Hiking/"scrambling"/walking? All potential possibilities. Then, we're driving back to Cambridge on Sunday night -- and poor Nick will have to continue from there down to Kent. Stay tuned for further updates as they come in.

Conservation of boondoggling in the universe. Therre does seem to ne a heavy concentration in the UK.
I will be ice climbing on a peak that is thousands of feet higher then anything in the UK. On a nice sunny day.
