Title: Can anyone recommend bouldering venues for a beginner in Dorset/Somerset/Wilts?
Post by: Bubba on October 01, 2007, 05:04:23 pm

Ok, I'm asking this on behalf of somebody who contacted me via the site, but probably doesn't want to sign up to the forum:

My daughter (age 13) has been climbing on climbing walls at school in Sherborne, Dorset and Castle Cary, Somerset. She would like to try bouldering. Is there anywhere suitable in Dorset/Somerset or possibly Wiltshire?
thanks

I'll point her to this topic so any ideas would be most welcome - thanks :)

There's very little around there that I know of. There's the Agglestone on the Isle of Purbeck, but I don't think you'd travel far for it. Otherwise, your best bet is dartmoor. see www.javu.co.uk
