Somerset Climbing Trip
May 17, 2019 - May 19, 2019
Meet at the Club’s Somerset Bunkhouse and aim to boulder, sport and trad climb on limestone… all within 20 minutes. Friday evening bouldering at Ubley Warren rocks. Saturday sport and trad at Cheddar Gorge or Avon Gorge, depending on your preference… Sunday morning visit to Fairy Cave Quarry for more sport and trad.
Accommodation: Free space at Jim’s house… book early and you may get a bed. Otherwise, bring a sleeping bag and floor space available. If you need privacy then bring a tent as I have a big garden.
Food: Free food at Jim’s… I will cook evening meals and there is always something for breakfast… bring your own lunches and alcohol. Anyone travelling from Denmark, please bring me a 6 pack of Tuborg Classic. Thanks!
Services: Post Office and local shop 2Km up the road. Cash machine service if link is working. 3 pubs within 10 minute drive.
Transport/travel: Plenty of parking at Jim’s. If any of the Danes are keen (you should be) then I could pick you up from Bristol airport, after work on Thursday after 17:00 (direct flights – Easyjet and Friday is Store Bededag) but you would need to get a couple of buses or a taxi to return on the Monday (direct flights – Easyjet) as I will be working. I can manage up to 4 Danes in my car for the weekend so you wouldn’t need to hire a car unless you wanted to… Let me know as soon as possible and I will reserve a space! If you do come on Thursday, then you’d probably want a car for the Friday as I’ll be at work…
