nearby...to where?

[slackline]

Well I wouldn't start from there!

[jjjj]

nearby...to where?

Well nearby to the bouldering whereever that may be as in i go there and to climb then afterwards i go to a hotel or the like thats near to there as in nearby. I know its somewhat of a game to make stupid commenmts after people post on here but put some effort into it .

I'd have thought it was a sensible question.  You can get to Dumby on the train, but if you're going from Bristol it may take a little while.

You can get anywhere on public transport if you don't mind a bit of walking. I hear Alaska is good this time of year.

Grindleford/hathersage train stations will put you walking distance to a lot of bouldering.


Do you have thumbs... you could always hitch from a main train station out to the crags  (a much neglected form of travel in my book  )

I think what the above comments are trying to say is 'where do you live'

[chummer]

This has got to be a wind up/ troll shirely?

[joe dobson]

Woodwell and Trowbarrow are very accessible by train, longridge you can get to by train, bus and then walk.

Loch Buie may be worth a look too.  You can get a train to Glasgow, then a coach to Oban, then Calmac across to Mull.  There's a coach from Craignure to Fionnphort which will let you off at the Loch Buie turn off.  From here you can walk to the venue, or thumb a lift (the locals are great).

There's a bus stop by the Torridon Celtic Jumble and a free campsite too...

[tomtom]

Caley Roadside. High volume of quality all grade grit bouldering and the bus from Leeds stops right next to it. (the names a clue..)

It would help if you said where you were coming from/planning or thinking of staying though...

Judging by this post he is in That London.

In which case the correct answer to his question is either:
(a) Fontainebleau
or
(b) Make friends with someone with a car

[tregiffian]

Roche Rock is only a hop, step and jump from the bus stop.

Look out for ogres.

Good bouldering a short walk from Ardmair busses from Ullapool to durness will drop you off at Ardmair.

is there a fine hotel nearby?

[slackline]

then afterwards i go to a hotel or the like thats near to there as in nearby.

decent and cheap accommodation nearby .   

Aside from the fact that decent and cheap is often an oxymoron, hotels generally aren't that cheap.  Camping/bivying are though.

[SA Chris]

is there a fine hotel nearby?

Oh so very, very fine. Plus campsite and S/C chalets.

[mrjonathanr]

jjjj don't be sensitive. By not identifying which areas are close/of interest to you, you make it difficult for people to give appropriate advice as to where to visit.  Look at the dearth of serious replies: your question is too broad.

[Fiend]

Loch Buie is very nice, good call.

Ardmair is a bit more limited but good fun and the scenery is even better.

[SA Chris]

Are taxis regarded as public transport? If so the world is your oystercard.
