SUMMARY:Return To Somerset 2021
DESCRIPTION:Return to the Club’s most southern UK bunkhouse (finally!) and aim to boulder\, sport and trad climb… and then drink cider (joking!)… all within 20 minutes. This was the best trip of the year in 2019 (and nothing happened in 2020) so don’t miss out! \nFriday evening bouldering at Ubley Warren Rocks. Saturday sport and trad options at a variety of close locations including: Cheddar\, Avon Gorge\, Goblin Coomb\, Fairy Cave Quarry and Sand Point to name a few… Read the last (valid) trip report to this location for more information… Families very welcome. And the only trip that has a Scandinavian fire pit and more whisky that all the attendant ‘Daves’ and ‘Dans’ can drink… \nAccommodation and food \nFree 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 the garden is big. Dogs very welcome but they are not allowed to chase the sheep! Or the cows! Or my next door neighbour\, the farmer will have words with me. I will cook evening meals on the BBQ and there is always something for breakfast. Bring your own lunches and alcohol. Anyone travelling from Denmark\, please bring some Tuborg Classic… Thanks! \nServices \nPost office and local shop 2km up the road. Cash machine if the link is working. 3 pubs within 10 minute drive. We may end on a visit to one of the local pubs if allowed… \nTransport and travel: Plenty of parking at Jim’s. If any Danes are keen (you should be) then get in touch with Jim and we’ll try to arrange pick up. Bristol airport is 20 minutes away and has direct flights from Copenhagen. Everyone else\, get in touch for directions to my house. \n  \nUbley Rocks: https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=19051 \nCheddar Gorge: https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=2280 (North side only as there are access issues during Summer months) \nAvon Gorge: https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=31 (This link to the Main Wall area but other walls listed) \nFairy Cave Quarry: https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=1290 (Ok\, so this is about 30 minutes away) \n  \nOrganiser: Jim McCall

SUMMARY:Portland Bill DWS Trip
DESCRIPTION:Come and make the most of the sunny south coast in the middle of summer! \nIf 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! \nFor those who want to push things a little harder\, there are safe 3-star routes all through the grades\, up to 7b+ (!). \nAccommodation is within walking distance of the crag and if the sea state is not suitable for DWS there are plenty of sport climbing\, walking and (rocky) beach options in the area\, as well as trad. and other DWS options within an hour’s drive. \n  \nThe Plan \nMeet up at the accommodation on Friday night (although those who live closer are welcome to join us on Saturday morning). Climb Saturday and Sunday\, before heading home Sunday afternoon / evening. \nThere are a large number of routes and grades at Portland Bill\, so two days will give us plenty of time to explore. DWS is very much like bouldering\, short intense bursts interspaced with chatting / recovering\, so there will be plenty of time for swimming\, paddle boarding and eating ice creams! There is also plenty of sport climbing in the area\, if you want to mix it up. \n  \nWhat to bring \nSwimmers\, large beach towel\, small hand towel\, optional wetsuit\, liquid chalk\, climbing shoes\, waterproof sun lotion\, anything else you want for the beach (i.e. paddle board\, snorkel\, etc.) \n  \nServices \nThere is a supermarket on Portland\, as well as plenty of pubs and takeaways. Portland Bunkhouse also has a kitchen and a BBQ area. \nAccommodation \nLilla and I will be staying in the Portland Bunkhouse (http://www.portlandbunkhouse.com/index.php). At £17 per night and walking distance to the crag (as well as several sport climbing crags)\, what’s not to like?! \nFor those who would rather camp\, there is a basic campsite just up the road\, at Sweet Hill Farm (https://www.pitchup.com/campsites/England/South_West/Dorset/Portland/sweet-hill-farm/?type=4) \n  \nFood \nIf the weather allows then I will be making full use of the bunkhouse’s BBQ area on the Saturday night! There is also a fully equipped kitchen and plenty of takeaways and pubs. \nTransport \nCar is by far the easiest way to both get to Portland and around it. However\, the nearest station is just over the causeway in Weymouth and so (if Covid allows) we could organise a pickup from there. \n  \nDetails \nStart: 30/31 July \nEnd: 01 August \nOrganisers: Will & Lilla Beaumont \nVenue: Portland Bunkhouse (DT5 2JT) & the cliffs near the Lobster Pot takeaway (DT5 2JT)
