Having looked at this I these places are within a few tens of km of
each other. The valley itself is perhaps 30-50km long. If the worst
comes to the worst we can hire a car and drive a group there from
Caceres.
I think more detailed planning will have to involve local knowledge,
locally obtainable maps (rather than going by google.es's
topographical), etc. but it looks feasible enough.

I really only have the kit you need for indoor climbing (not even a
rope, although one is on my wishlist...) Does anyone here have
suitable outdoor gear (a rope or two, and nuts and so forth) ?
If someone does and says they will bring it, I will bring what I do
have: a harness, boots (UK size 8.5 IIRC), belay device, and a spare
carabiner and a sling.
I will be doing my packing tomorrow night so I need an affirmative by
then.
Ian.

Right. The two google maps URLs presented in this thread end up in
slightly different places. Can you confirm the coordinates of the
reception entrance ?
It looks to me like
39.467568 degrees north
6.368950 degrees west
(WGS84) ?
Ie the green arrow here:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=39.46756,-6.368970&t=h&z=19
(Not the `A' tabh.)
This is relevant, as I'll have my GPS with me :-).

Technically, I could, but has it been confirmed that it will be possible
to do some climbing? All this is quite heavy, so I would prefer not to
take it for nothing.

I think we can take the lack of response to mean that no-one who is
reading this list knows definitely one way or the other.
I'm not sure exactly what the best way is to do the research myself at
this distance; I had a look at the tourist board page referred to
upthread and found a couple of the locations mentioned. They seem to
be logistically plausible although might involve organising separate
transport (ie, car hire). I have no idea what the climbing is like.

I'm inclined to think it's all a bit too hard and maybe just bringing
sticky boots and seeing if we can find any bouldering on the day is
the way to approach it.
(I do have a (double) rope and some quickdraws and some nuts but they
tend to be little use in Spain IME as everything is bolted (and far
too hard :-) )
Has it even been decided whether the day-trip is going to be to the
country or the city yet?

[Debconf-discuss] pool
Hi, using the pool in the parque de deportivos only costs 1.71 euros. It's open til 21:00 and I didnt find any lockers. How to get there: you go out of the venue, turn right, turn right again to the park with the lakes and then opposite of the park on the left side of the street is a huge arch which is the entrance. Directly behind the arch is a small house where you pay, then you go straight-straight-right for 100m where the entrance is on the left, while the (one) pool is on the right.
