I organised a Meet last month based on St Nectaire. The crag at Le Rivalet was very close, with masses of good climbing at grades 4 - 6 close to the road. La Roche Tuiliere has multipitch grade 3 as well as harder, with about 15 mins walk-in.

I've got the guidebook, email me if you'd like more info.

Have recently returned from a walking holiday near Murat. Didn't do any climbing unfortunately, but there is a smallish crag near the ski lift station at the col de le tombe de pere,about 30mins drive from Murat, easy access as well. The local syndicat in Murat have a tourist map showing where all the nearby crags are situated.

Hi Andy,
Long time no see - hope you're both well. I might be interested in that information as well, so if you've got my email address perhaps you can count me in.
Regards
