UKC

Can anyone recommend an excellent bouldering spot near the M6/M5 motorways?

I'm driving from Scotland to Bristol tomorrow and I'm trying to think of somewhere to stop for a break on the way down that wont impact the journey too much from a mileage perspective.

In reply to cha1n: theres the lakes limestone crags like trowbarrow/warton/woodwell to boulder at just off the m6 above lancaster

In reply to cha1n:

Nice one, thanks. Think I'll give Warton a look for an hour or two..

In reply to cha1n:

There may be some seepage around, I expect Woodwell will be wet. Warton is the best bet for some dry rosk. Be aware the walk in is about 15 minutes though.

In reply to cha1n:

Denham is accessible, parking right by the quarry and some reasonable bouldering.

Thanks Chris, I spotted that crag on the UKC map but thought I'd go for Warton because there was a good free topo on lakesbloc and it apparently dries quickly.

Ouch, 15 minute walk-in - forced warm-up/down! Cheers Bicep.

There is a Denham bouldering topo here:

So much choice eh?

PS Don't leave anything in the car if you go to Warton!

GCW has updated that old topo here: http://www.vimeo.com/groups/UKBouldering/file:2144

In reply to Chris Craggs:

Damn you Chris, you convinced me not to go anywhere now because my car will be full of luggage plus a laptop.

I went to an indoor wall in Dundee this evening and will drive straight home tomorrow with no climbing

Thanks for the info from everyone, anyway.

In reply to cha1n:

Better to be forewarned I would guess? For what its worth, at Denham the crag is 30 secs from the parking - though not that proximity means you are completely safe!
