Ive been to Kilnsey alot recently and notice that the path between the to sectors is in a right state . Who pays for the work ? surely the BMC should contribute to the work and whilst they are at it why not put a few stepping stones across the stream its been hard to get across recently. Kilnsey has been at the centre of the bolting work which has made the crag popular again and brought it to the for front of British sports climbing surely the paths could be made better with a bit of work.

In reply to boggy: Perhaps Ground Force could be enlisted at no cost to anybody - Alan & Charlie might have some creative ideas that could add to the ambience

A small shrubbery perhaps? with the odd pansy to give a touch of colour? maybe a little decking to support a BBQ by the stream?

You made it more popular so you should repair the path.I'd help you but I have an appointment with Mt Ventoux this afternoon.

A lot of 'should's' in your post - doubt if the BMC have the cash or the authority to carry out this work on every eroded cliff. Are you a club member/individual member? Are the majority of people who climb there members?

Hey boggy, less bolting, more looking after the cliff environment.

How about YOU organizing a path maintanance day and also.....have you got a good back...well "why not put a few stepping stones across the stream its been hard to get across recently."

Jeez some people, they just won't get off their arse.

Well last time I was there there stepping stones were really high but they do get wshed down stream when after heavy rain.

As Mick says, all it needs is a little direct action.

But remember that we do not have a right of access, it is not that many years since climbing at Kilnsey was totally banned at weekends.

Tred carefully with your remedial works!

I don't own any of the routes Boggy, nor do you.

But you expect the BMC to do the work...or "somebody' else?

> Anyway keep winding people up you have an art at it

With good reason in this case.
