What is the best area on Portland for low grade sport? And what's the best guide?
Cheers.

Depends how low grade, but the cuttings has quite a lot of good stuff. Blacknor is also fun!

avoid the 3's and 4's at the cuttings if you can, never been on them myself but they seem polished to hell.
there's some nice 5's down at Cheyne Weares by all accounts...

Thanks guys. I'm looking for 6a/6b rather than 5 and below. Any views on a guide?

Wallsend South - from 'Trad Free World' northwards theres a bunch at 6c and under and they're all brilliant. Check the tides and make sure you've got a 60m rope before going though!
