In reply to The Pylon King:
Lots of assumptions here: that the landowner is very rich, that they acquired it dubiously etc. etc. I agree in principle, I'd like more freedom and access rights to these places, but at the moment this is the system we have in place and climbers need to work within that or the access will become more hostile. Closed laybys, damage to vehicles etc. it's all happened elsewhere so I won't be pushing it in this case. Hopefully just a parking or liability issue, like you say, that can be resolved. If it's just that they don't want regular groups turning up on their property it could be a bit more tricky.
Re: huntsham - no disagreement on access being weird there, not my intended place to visit. Nice venue, spoiled for me by the frisson of maybe having that guy (Elfyn?) creep up and have a go . Never had trouble there myself but others have. Haven't been there for over two years since some local closed off all the verges with big branches and stuck stickers on all the cars shortly after lockdown 1. Again, not a massive fan of being told not to go there but I can see how boulderers are becoming a bit of a locust swarm on some places, the game has changed a lot in the last few years.
