I come from Notts and often meet people coming from the M6 direction at the Bromsgrove Junction of the M42 when heading south. There is a Harvester pub on the roundabout, previously they have been fine about us leaving cars in their car park, plus you can have a drink waiting for people to turn up.
whats Cheddar loike in the summer?where is best to climb 7a-7c?
The Remnant, Lion Rock and Pride Evans Cave face south west and come into the shade after 2. I think the Wave and Tsunami come into the shade at a similar time, but could be wrong. Lion rock often has a breeze, so can be alight in the sun, or surprisingly cold in the shade!Cheddar Gorge Climbs by Martin Crocker is your book. You can get it from the climbing shop in the gorge.If you want to avoid the car parking charges, then there are often spaces in gravely bays on the north side of the gorge which are owned by the national trust. Cheddar Gorge and Caves (who own the south side) can't charge you for using them.
Wave and tsunami are similar times (though I'm sure Remnant is SSE according to the guide).
