Hi folks,

As the topic suggests I'm looking for some decent, i.e; easy access to top, good selection of grades, shunt crags around the bristol area. I'm based in Blagdon so south of brizz would be preferable.
I was thinking perhaps Goblin Combe would fit the bill although I'm not too familiar with the place.
Any thoughts would be welcome.

Cheers

Yep, goblin coombe, avoid shorts, check for Ticks after, and Leave fido at home.

what Grade range are you Looking for?

Sandford Quarry is very near you and the Lower Lift is a great place for shunting with loads of solid belay points and a good range of grades.

I used to go to the New Quarry at Avon.

Ones where the use of shunts is forbidden.
In reply to AndThenIWasFlying:

Split rock

Easily accessible top with loads of trees and hard enough routes to project.

That would fit the bill as a good shunt venue in my book.

Crags where many routes take diagonal lines or have traverse sections
Crags with loose rock at the top
Crags where you can't access the top
