Watch out for stones through your windscreen at Markfield.
Is that the "crag" in the picture? Is there nothing else nearby?
Quote from: fried on September 28, 2012, 02:53:09 pmI haven't got it or even seen it, although I know it exists or existed.But I'd kill to have a look at the Portsmouth sea walls guidebook (c. 1990s) if anyone knows anything.Saw it once (that was my main training venue in Uni days), never found out how to get a copy though... I do remember, most routes started with reference to their vicinity to the "do not climb on this ancient monument" sign...

Probably this
I was a bit gutted back in 1991 to discover that this wasn't Ceuse when we arrived
I've climbed at 10 crags in Leicestershire. I reckon there must be at least a dozen good routes there.

I once had a guide book for here:Bolted routes on Blockhouses and Flak towers around Berlin.
I've got a guide for a random little Christian Core bouldering area in Northern Italy called Triora, don't think many people have heard of it.

Turns out it's only 7b+/c but at the moment it caused a bit of a shock.

Those ones in Berlin look like El Cap by comparison...
