Kyloe In Access
February 09, 2018, 11:00:33 am
I'm pleased to say that the access issue to Kyloe In has been resolved.  Scottish Woodlands have confirmed that access is now permitted at all times, regardless of stalking activity.  Kyloe-in-the-woods (Kyloe-In)

BUT - you must approach the crag via the usual track described in the guide and not deviate from it or the crag.  Do not 'thrash' through the woodland from Kyloe Out. For those not familiar with it, the 'usual' track starts at the northern gate.(GR NU 03532 38982) 'Follow the forest road up a slight incline. After about 600m A track merges from the right, ignore this and continue to a fork 100m ahead . Take the right branch. Follow the right fork for 300m then turn right at the T-junction. The rocks soon appear to the left of the track just after an obvious disclaimer sign.' 

There isn't a lot of parking so park sensibly, don't block the gate, DO NOT light fires! and pack out any rubbish. A BMC sign will be posted on the gate in the near future. If there are any incidents; either of selfish behaviour, or adverse contact with a stalker please let Steve Blake or myself know.

Remember, access to Kyloe In is a privilege, not a right and inconsiderate or irresponsible behaviour  can lose it.

1 false move could lose this great crag for everyone.

Good work from you and everyone else. Given the sensitivity regarding stalking etc, what is the restriction regarding dogs? If there is one, it should be clearly highlighted.

Dogs have never featured in any access discussion here.  However, where-ever you go climbing, if you take a dog with you you have to keep it under 'close control'.  Some dog owners have 'close control' and immediate recall if the  dog is off the lead. If you don't have control of your dog, don't let if off the lead, at Kyloe or any other crag. Better still don't take it to the crag.
