Restricted Access

• No new development - there are in excess of 700 exisiting lines across Bovey Woods as a whole and further development would mean more cleaning and removal of important mosses and lichens. This is a real concern to the landowners and continued development and new cleaning could result in loss of access.

• Keep cleaning to a minimum. A completely clean boulder might look good to a climber, but to the landowner it looks a lot like environmental damage. Keep individual holds clean, don't strip entire faces of vegetation.

• Chalk really stands out in the environment, so remove as much as possible from the rock before leaving a problem.

• Please don't use this area for lantern sessions (night bouldering) - this has been a contributing factor in the developing access concerns of the landowner.

• Take your litter home with you as well as any other litter in the area. This includes things like pieces of finger tape which can be easily forgotten.
