Info: Drive down to Baggy Point on Saturday 25th March 2023 and climb at Scrattling Zawn, The Long Rock, Slab Cove and The Promontory… Plenty to go at, at all grades. Pleasant coastal walking if that rocks the boat… Baggy offers an exciting introduction to sea cliff climbing and is big. This is the first Club trip here so we will consider it a bit of a recce for future trips. Identify the crags, identify the abseil descents and get on the classics… Club members should practice abseiling with a prussik knot before attending this trip. Contact Jim for details.
Services: Food and cash points in Croyde.
Accommodation: This is interesting… I have booked a National Trust Bothy, Heddon Orchard Bothy, Heddon Valley https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/holidays/devon/heddon-orchard-bothy . The bothy is about an hour from Baggy Point and roughly in the direction to home… for me. It costs £40.00 and sleeps 4. There is a pub next door… I plan to drive there from Baggy Point on Saturday night and eat at the pub. Drive home Sunday, with a possibility to stop off on the way home. The first 3 people who request a floor space (bring a sleeping bag) can have a space for £10.00 each.
Food: Available in Croyde. Plan to eat at the pub next door on Saturday night… The Hunter’s Inn, though nothing arranged yet…
Transport: Car is the way… contact Jim for a space in the Audi
Dates: Drive down to Baggy Point on Saturday 25th March 2023, drive home 26th March 2023. 25-26th March 2023.
