In reply to iank:
Stopped there on a bike ride yesterday (tues) about 2pm. No signs out to say it was closed or asking to avoid the area, farmer knocking about in the adjacent field. Quite a few cars there but not so many that the parking was silly, and a few climbers present. Didn't do a detailed survey of the place, just wandered up to eat my sandwiches with a view, but while doing so noticed probably 5 or so lone boulderers, one student-ish aged group bouldering (poss one household if a flatshare) and about 5 teams playing with ropes in a mix of lead and toprope (mixed bag of "they could be a household" and "I suspect they aren't"). Noticed that one of the vehicles was a guide's van but didn't see anyone obviously instructing so could be there for leisure rather than business. Beyond the climbers, there were a few muggles including one guy asking how the nuts and cams worked, which might suggest he hadn't walked around a popular climbing venue much before, which (plus his accent) might suggest non local travelling to visit the area. No judgement there - I also fall into that category having driven to start my cycle ride. Still less busy than my previous visit on a weekend last summer (and on the face of it more responsible - last time I b*llocked someone for walking along the top of the wall) but with more people starting to consider it (I was curious to see how busy it was, you started the post) I suspect the numbers will only go in one direction. Its possible that all the visitors are playing by the rules/guidelines enough to keep the virus in check, or there could be a bit of social mixing going on with people travelling to meet in small groups and touch the same surfaces. Perhaps that increases risk to virus/access, perhaps it doesn't or is a neglibile increase. Who knows? My takeaway was that I'll still be erring on the side of don't climb at the honeypots, but may venture to my local small crag midweek sometime soon.
