Southern Peak Grit - this Sunday (4th)
September 02, 2016, 08:53:29 am
Hi guys

I'm working (slackline instructing) just north of Burton on Trent this Sunday from 12 until 4:30. Then planning on heading onto the peak ASAP to grab a couple hours chilled bouldering
Can anyone recommend any southern Peak venues which would be best for a flying visit?

Cheers all

There's plenty to do at Robin Hoods Stride/Cratcliffe.

That looks ideal, about 50 minutes north of Draycott. Should hope to get a couple hours in before it's dark.
Is it a popular crag? Likelihood of bumping into other climbers fairly high?

I'll be highly surprised if you don't

Fantastic, will likely be on my own (and without a guidebook) so would be good to climb with some locals

You'll need to suss where to park -layby near bend from which the track runs up past the farm, RHS on left, Cratcliffe boulders in top field on right. From south bend is right bandera w layby shortly  after.

Best place to park is on the back road, shorter flatter walk-in.
