Title: Bouldering on Exmoor - Lynmouth East and West
Post by: granticus on March 17, 2011, 01:37:16 am: Extra time spent at home being a new dad has had it's plus points. One of them being I finally pulled my finger out and finished the Lynmouth bouldering guide and a wee article on Exmoor bouldering.

Both available as freebie PDF downloads - they can be found here:-

And shortly will be available here too:-

Sadly years too late for me. I spent 1983 trapped in Exford with no transport (bar a faulty thumb) and used to borrow a bike sometimes to cycle to Lynmouth and Hurlstone for beach bouldering. I can't remember any specific problems, but did lots of low friction traversing below the big cliffs, but had to save my energy for the hideous ride home. Happy days!

Indeed the problems out west come very highly recommended by the very small handful of people that have done them.
