The message
from "Bertie Doe" contains these words:

My next day off is Wednesday, but this frosty spell looks set, would it pay
me to delay planting?

I would delay. Just keep the roots moist, but not dripping.

My allotment is exposed and slopes steeply East/West. Googled advice
suggests growing South or West. I'm mulling over the idea of growing
them up
the slope, rather than across, any thoughts?

Ideally, you'd plant the canes North-South, but it really doesn't matter
that much, as raspberries will tolerate quite a lot of shade.

Remember to net summer-fruiting raspberries, or the blackbirds will have
the lot. For some reason, autumn-fruiting ones don't seem to register as
'food' to them.
