In reply to joedowell:
Ok, I assume you’ll be jumping on the 35 bus? Keep an eye out for The New Ship pub and get off at the second stop after, opposite a fenced footy/basketball court. Cross over the road and head up Quarry Lane. Keep going and you’ll come to some football pitches on Cleadon Rec where the hill flattens out, the quarry is at the back, you can’t miss it. The other Cleadon crag, on Cleadon Hills, is more difficult to find and probably isn’t worth the trouble; it’s tiny and is probably so overgrown that access will be an issue. When the weather dries out a bit The Cove at Marsden is much better than both.
