Just out of curiosity as I have never come across one ?

Not many, I'm in Ludlow, only know one other climber here but have heard rumours of others. Waiting for somebody to build a wall that's less than an hours drive away!

Well I'm technically in Bromyard so nearest wall is martley, just never come across other climbers locally

Well my girlfriend lives in Cradley and climbs, she mostly travels to Gloucester for the indoor stuff though

I'm from Tenbury, other climbers do exist but you're not likely to find one on your doorstep in a rural market town.

There's a great wall at Stirling Lines, but the entry standards are arduous.

Hadn't spotted that one opening, great news. Had been thinking that Hereford needed a wall for years, looking forward to checking it out.

Anybody interested in lift sharing from Ludlow area?

I live in Hereford. And climb with my best mate. And 3 others. It's great cause there's usually one or more to go with. Would love a proper wall here tho cause the Tuesday nights drive to glocester is a pain in the winter months. Still. It beats the tv soaps with the wife hands down...
Drop us an email if u ever want to come out. More the merrier.

Haha we're all crawling out of the woodwork now!

I live in Kington, so 20 miles or so from Hereford. I make the trip to Llangorse twice a week which is just about doable. It's only 40 mins or so.

On a side note, if anyone ever wants to et out feel free to PM me. I have rack, rope, transport, questionable chat etc.

Maybe if we all walked around Ludlow in our climbing gear we'd be able to spot each other more easily. I can name half a dozen of us in the area, at least 4 in town itself.
Yes I'm interested in Lift share (just found out about it today myself).

I'm still working my way through the old one
In reply to Meddins:

I have recently moved back to the area, and now live in Hay and have started using the wall at the llangorse activity centre.

How many of the people who have replied are in clubs I wonder, and how active are they?

In reply to Adderbury Climber:

I am not a member of any clubs. I go climbing every other Sunday and every Tuesday evening. I'd love to go more the the wife and kids might say something if I push my luck.... lol. And hopefully the weather comes good for this sunday cause we're off the pembroke. ☺

Used to live in Ludlow - never met a climber or even hillwalker when there, They exist of course.
Perhaps the sight of that crumbly limestone on the town's crags terrified anyone from even thinking of climbing.

In reply to Adderbury Climber:

Yes I'm in a club http://www.wrekinmc.co.uk/ an active club and I'm an active member, come and join us.

There is a newly built bouldering centre roughly 3.5 miles outside of Hereford at the taste for adventure outdoor centre.

Why not?

Hereford has a climbing club in fact, I was a member for a year or so, seemed like a decent bunch.

Hereford isn't a small rural market town

My point was that if you live In Bromyard or a similar small town you're not going to have a huge choice of potential clomboing partners. It's likely that you will need to travel in order to do so. This isn't really an issue as you are going to need to travel to the crag or wall anyway.
