Sad to report this.

I came across a motorbike that had been torched at Stone Farm. Damage to surrounding rock.

I have sent photos to the BMC south east rep. I don’t think I can share photos via UKC (supporter feature?) but you may be able to see via this iCloud link.

That's sad. There are some scumbags around these days.

You say surrounding rock is damaged. Has any damage occurred to actual climbs?

It's been there a couple of weeks now. I'm pretty sure the police have been notified.

It's at the bottom of Control. It doesn't look like it's damaged any of the routes, just the boulder.

Reminds me of the time I had to move a bmx from a climb at sea walls in the Avon gorge that had clearly come from the top. 
 

Im jealous it’s a rare enough occasion you needed to post it on here, try climbing Bristol city crags. We used detritus and graffiti to help us identify routes. ‘Starts at the large swastika 3 metres left of the upturned fiesta’

Not that I could see, just the boulder, as Hooo says. Had some likely lads hassle me down there before. They threw a glass bottle down the crag but usually no trouble down there, it helps that it’s fairly remote.

Hi

The bike was found a week or so ago, and has been reported to the police and the BMC are aware. 

You can post photos if you are a ukc supporter. 
cheers
