I have added a new section, Bivvy spots! I hate paying for campsites and although I am getting old and am catching Nigel and Phill up am not yet totally decrepid and in need of B and B’s!

I have started adding some sites that I have used, the accuracy of the sites can not be gauranteed as I may not have used them in a while but hopefully they will give the option o a convienient place to stay.

Please email a response if you have any other suggestions…..

Dead Dolphin Direct was climbed on 9th October 2009 by Nigel (seconded by james!). The route takes a direct line to the route climbed by Pete and James about 4 years ago. The original line climbed the overhanging corner up the slab and belayed from a ut key and mud bollard! The new line takes the impressive overhang following the obvious line of holds onto the slab above. The Slab was as impressively loose as the first ascent and Nigel did well to find a handful of throwaway placement to keep the rope running in a nice line!

Graded at HVS 5a the grading was given for the start which was a great boulder problem…. the HVS for the loose rock above. Nigel has his first tick and although not a 3 star classic a new route has been claimed.

well done Nigel

The Climbing dictionary is now up and running, I will aim to update this  as often as I can. I think it is fairly definitive but will seek out any words not in there!

The technical pages of the blog are on teh way and will be starting with the basics —– knots! I am trying to keep it simple whilst i find my way through this blogging thing!

Phill and myself have made it down to the most southern point of the Uk twice in as many weeks. We had a great day and found a great venue plenty of VD’s with a splattering of VS and harder routes as well.
