> what is the closest town and campsite?
Millau is the nearest big town. North of there (towards the Tarn and Jonte) are loads of campsites. Might be a bit early in the season for them to be open though - try Millau tourist info.
> whereabouts in the gorge is the climbing - i've looked on the map and its quite extensive.
See link above. The crags are mostly on the bend where the river turns south after running west.
> where can i get the guide from?
Shops in Millau for recent (2001?) Tarn and Jonte topos, this months Vertical for topo and info on the Boffi.
> any other info would be much appreciated.
Take a long rope, routes in the Tarn can be up to 45m (single pitch).
