frazzlesgrant Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Is there anyone on here who does climbing and could recommend any good places in the summer to go preferably in England and Wales, I'm thinking of getting my old climbing buddies back together
RobD Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Some pretty good climbing in Symonds Yat, not desperatly hard climbing but the views are awsome... 1
TechMonkey Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Tunbridge Wells area has a fair few nice places. Harrison's Rocks, High Rocks, Bowles just for a start. UKC logbook is quite nice to be able to look around and pick areas. Edited February 17, 2015 by elsiegee40 1
NotSoFast Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Hard to beat the peak district for rock or beer... 1
nickbro Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Llangorse Climbing Centre: Home - Llangorse Multi Activity Centre, near Crickhowell again, so you can stay in Crickhowell or near and visit both Llangattock and Llangorse 1
elsiegee40 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Stanage Edge in the Peak District, Brimham Rocks near Pately Bridge in North Yorkshire 1
Bruce123 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 The Peak (e.g. Stanage Edge) for single or two pitches, Wales (Snowdonia) for multi-pitch....? 1
Ketlane Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Llangorse Climbing Centre: Home - Llangorse Multi Activity Centre, near Crickhowell again, so you can stay in Crickhowell or near and visit both Llangattock and Llangorse Agree on Llangorse: plenty to do for a very long day indoors, Llangattock outside. 1
Xeba37 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Stanage Edge in the Peak District, Brimham Rocks near Pately Bridge in North Yorkshire +1 for the Peak District. Excellent bouldering at Burbage not too far from Stanage. Also, you have Sheffield nearby for a bit of nightlife, oh and Wharncliffe there for a climb too, and not too far to drive to the Roaches or North Yorks in a day. Loads of pre bolted sport stuff around there too, covers all bases 1
Iain Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 As others have said, the Peak District is a good choice with loads of crags to choose from, although I tend to find the usual lower lying crags (Stanage, Burbage, Froggatt, Millstone etc.) a bit too warm and humid during the summer months - watch out for the midges!, and prefer to head up to the crags on Kinder or the moorland crags such as Shining Clough and make use of a cooler breeze. North wales (in and around Llanberis / Ogwen valleys) is a good bet too for the summer, especially if fancy some multi-pitch. If you are feeling a bit more adventurous, head out to the sea cliffs in Cornwall or Pembroke - both have tons of amazing climbing in stunning positions. 1
