Chill out guys!!!!!

Not my original post but close enough that I thought it worth using... Apologies for any offence caused 

My post stated that I'm going in three weeks so it shouldn't be too warm and I know it's in Cornwall. Does this mean I'm allowed some advice?

  World war 3 has broken out down here due to the resurrection of this thread!   I did follow up with some advice...Head to the coast. 20mins to Downderry 1hour to Tintagel.  Bodmin granite in the summer may not be a plan that will result in climbing fun, hope for a strong breeze and cool air otherwise steer well clear.

Ha!!! Sorry about that...

Bought the guide - it's always good to have a good excuse for a new guide book

Also downloaded the Luxulyan guide (with appropriate attention paid to banned areas) and am fully psyched for some EASTER GRANITE!!!!!!!

I think there's 3 action pics of me in that guide 

The Wild Hunt is a great problem worth seeking out at Lux.  Take your wellies (and a machete perhaps)

They’re too busy sneaking out at night to dig the Tamar valley further North. Eventually, Kernow shall be an island.

Those aren’t wind farms you see, they’re the secret propulsion system that will carry the island away, once digging is complete.

Forward to Avalon!!

Tintagel: deffo the best boulder in the SW. Godrevy is easily the best venue in Cornwall IMO. But only if you get the conditions. I'd rather boulder on Kilmar than go to Downderry...
Priest's Cove definitely worth in the 7s: limited but classy.

So I missed the going in 3 weeks bit and thought we were talking August....
Trewortha has a big circuit and some newer 7s courtesy of Tom Bunn.
Failing that get yerself to the Arse Stones bei.

So weather was more suitable to walking and fishing (of which there was plenty) and the only day of good weather we got was the day of the wedding we had built the holiday around!! We did manage to get out for a couple of hours on that day to Sharp Tor (close by and short walk in) and I still have a hole in my hand!

Lovely stuff.

Keen to return!

Thought I'd resurrect this thread as I'm off on holiday to Callington in a couple of week and it's apparently close to Bodmin Moor (20 mins drive). Does anyone have any topos or pdfs etc with basic info? I'm not sure on shelling out £19 for the guide, I already have a troublesome guidebook habit!

Any recommendations of good problems in the 6s also much appreciated.

Trewortha Tor and Kilmar Tor are well worth a visit, both approached from the same parking, and lots of stuff to do at both in the 6s. In terms of guidebooks / topos there isn't anything available to my knowledge (typical for Cornish venues!)*. I've had a look in the Cheesewring guide before and there's some stuff in there but it's very limited. You're best bet is to go off UKC or just have an explore. It's a lovely place.

*There is a Cornish select bouldering guide in the works I think.

Ginster's factory shop in Callington, beware!

It wouldn't take long to get to burrator, and access the combestone and cuckoo rock area of dartmoor. Probably better if you're after a quick hit with obvious stuff to do. Usual caveat of not bouldering on granite when it's warm and muggy of course.

Kilmar and Terwortha really close to Callington and would be worth a shout for an early morning session and would be stunning up there. More of a day trip I would say Hartland (1hr's drive) has loads of 6 & 7's and there is still a free guide on the Javu website https://javu.co.uk/Climbing/Guides/HartlandBouldering/Hartland_Topo_Javu2.pdf    Tintagel also ~40mins

I really like Trewortha Tor, it's a great venue, loads of problems, lots of strong lines and features. The information on UKC is adequate to find your way around and the boulders locations are marked on the UKC map.
Grades definitely feel a bit sand baggy.
Anything starred on UKC is generally good, in the sixes would recommend anything on the Solitary Boulder, Mustang, a cheeky solo of Just Good Friends, anything on Nice Arse (highball), Full Moon, Blood Brothers (tape up!), Uniform Dawn.  It is the kind of place you can walk around and just climb what you like the look of.
If you're feeling strong Solly's new ish 8b Crown Worthy needs a repeat!
There is most definitely a Cornwall bouldering guide in the pipeline courtesy of Tom Last and Tom Bunn.  Maybe it will go to print soon but folk keep adding quality new stuff which has to go in the guide!

Thanks for all the info chaps, much appreciated

Having seen the work in progress on Tom Last’s phone on Saturday night, this is going to be really good when it arrives.  I think there’s still a fair bit to do, but it’s getting there.
