I’ve hopped out of Back Bowden without crutches ;). It’s fine!

His Eminence? richieb did the same!

No. County Ethics.

Ouch. misread Back Bowden as Bowden. That's a nasty hop.

Well that's absolutely loads to go at - thanks all! For complex reasons the crutches will be a thing for at least the medium term and hopping or just grinning and bearing any discomfort are not options, so I particularly appreciate the detail people have given on walk-ins and pointing out places that might not be as appropriate as they seem. It's been a bit of a learning curve in terms of realising that things that seem completely trivial can be horrendous, in terms of managing a decent length walk-in only to find that the final ten-metre scramble to the base of the crag is a horrorshow.

Cheers everyone

Sorry to hear that Droyd, but if that is the case I would definitely scrap Earl, Froggatt and Wimberry off the list. Widdop still might be doable, but I'd leave it until you have tried other better suited venues.
