Well, it's hotting up big style now, and soon the midges and the bracken will own the grit once more.....

...so, what's a man to do? Where are your best summer bouldering locations - surely not everyone heads for the polished limestone horrors that are Rubicon/Snore/Crag X ?

Why not head a bit further north? Woodwell/Trowbarrow way. Okay, no good for evenings, but spot on for weekends.

I've been meaning to have a day out at Fairy Steps doing lots of nice easy stuff for about 2 years now - just need to get out of bed early and go for it, instead of the usual hangover and crawling out to the Peak later.

Having said that, we were due to go to Lord's Seat last weekend but the weather looked too iffy.

Ewww, bit grim that place...

Dont go on your own, or you may not come out (Very Blair Witch Esq!)

Is it grim? In what way? Crap, or just the location?

Woodwell is all far too hard for me

Bit dark and shady. Problems are not great, apart from the really hard stuff. Though this is jsut my personal opinion

I dont know what grade you climb but there is plenty of sub V7's at Woodwell.

Might have a look then in that case.... St Bees sounds nice too although I hear mixed reports.

Not been yet, but have heard its smashing!

As for Woodwell, dont forget Woodwell Ort Road, more sub V7 stuff there

Whereabouts is there to boulder in Sunny Somerset (whilst you're not revising? I sympathise, with a 15k word MSc dissertation to complete whilst pulling 50odd hours a week at work  )?

I work in Somerset (Yeovil) but live in Dorset, so the sun is almost down by the time I get home and the yomp down to the coast is a pain in the arse when its dark.
