Title: Bristol
Post by: Davo on July 22, 2014, 03:42:07 pm: Hi All

Am in Bristol over the weekend(not climbing related) and will have some spare time on Staurday evening. Was just wondering if anyone has any idea of where the nearest reasonable bouldering might be as I will be on my own.

Failing that if anyone needs their rope holding on Sat evening let me know. Would be free. From 5pm ish.

Cheers

Dave

Depends what you mean by local, and what you mean by reasonable, but if you really want boulder you're looking at a minimum 40 min drive to what I'd consider worthwhile (biblins cave; huntshams)

Which of the two is best? I'm going to have one free day down there in March.
