Youre just lucky to Live in such a Climbing honeypot.

I can only Dream of a day at fineDon slabs, or the Metropolitan police fishery.

Jealous.

Well you might as well keep wading, because there just aren't any 'crags' near there - unless you like chalk pits.


> why are these even on the database?

For Met Police Fishery, because I was desperate to climb anything living as I did at the time in Hertfordshire and it being a cold damp December iirc.

I like to keep some record of my activities, but would hardly recommend it!

Good luck!

Slawston bridge is actually quite good, you can see it well on street view.

Slawston Bridge was good enough for young Mr Dawes' development. An excellent set of problems on gritstone blocks & bricks with flat grassy landings & the shortest walk-in possible. Beats anything in Northamptonshire!!
