Portland Bill DWS Trip
Portland UKIf you’ve never tried DWS then Portland is a great spot to start. Access to the routes is easy, grades go down to sport 4+, and there are plenty of short routes over very deep water (including several traverses where you’re only just off the surface). Add to this high tides through the middle of the day, on both days and it’s like bouldering with a large, blue, splashy mat!
