Any Bouldering in Glastonbury?
November 14, 2008, 04:14:42 pm
Need to be there over next weekend, so wondering if its worth taking the mat.

Nothing coming up on a quick net search, so I'm guessing not.

Not a sausage.

Cheddar and Brean Down may be your best bets nearby.

Or, strong cider.

sounds appetising...can't believe i just googled "cheddar" and expected to find boulders. because i'm on foot, may have to settle for apples over cheeses.thanks though.

thanks for the tip, Slack! its a great find. You must have been inspired when you found this, and it must have taken you a while to clean them up:



any ones you'd recommend for a newbie? I was thinking about 'The Heelstone'. Not sure about the possible dyno, but the jugs (and the fence) are probably in my league:



please put the word out for some druid spotters. Anymore in the area?

You might find some climbing searching for "Cheddar" although it will be in a gorge rather than an orchid or dairy farm.

That looks more like Stonehenge, the stone-circle at Glastonbury is much more diminuitive.  Contact Micheal Eavis for access and watch out for hippies  ;D
