Farmers bridge and Braintree
I live in Tiptree in Essex and would like any inside info on anything near by. I mean outdoor natural (I guess there is none) or artificial, not walls. There appears to be loads around Felstead on the map. Does anybody have experience with these climbs?

In reply to Roobag:

Following because I would love to hear there is something. Think there isn't though.

In reply to Roobag:

Most of the stuff in Essex is somewhat dodgy climbing / bouldering on man made structures - particularly railway bridges.

The only place of note (and I appreciate it's a long way from your part of Essex) is the artificial boulder park at Fairlop Boulders ; with boulder problems (or in some cases easy short top-ropable problems) up to V3 / 6a. See http://www.rockworks.co.uk/UserFiles/file/Fairlop%20Waters%20Climbing%20Gui...

There are a few other artificial boulders dotted around the 'inside the 25' part of Essex, but they are prone to vandalism / fires whilst Fairlop is usually very clean.

Everytime i'm in Essex visiting the mother in law, I climb....the walls....


Fairlop is pretty good, the best artificial bouldering I've found.
