UKC

Hi People, 

I am from the Netherlands and will visit Cornwall in a couple of weeks. I am looking for a nice bouldering gym to train hard. A Moonboard and/or a campus board would be fantastic. I browsed the UKC site, but as a foreigner it is kind of hard to asses the best facilities in the area. I am willing to drive for 1.5/2 hours to a good facility if necessary. 

Thanks in advance, 

Casper

Hi Casper, if you are prepared to drive around 1:15 the Hangar in Plymouth is excellent. They have a moonboard/system board, campus board and great bouldering in the centre. 

Unfortunately, there's not much in terms of climbing centres in Cornwall itself. If you can find pads or a rack if trad is your thing, then Cornwall is great!

Assuming you've got access to a car for your visit here, drive down to Godrevy, it's close to St Ives and has some superb bouldering.  A really good variety from smooth sloping problems over rockpools, to some sharp as **** traverses over deeper gullies.  

2 hours either side of low tide is generally the time to go.  There's parking close by as well, and a decent cafe in the area too

This is excellent news, thank you very much for your response! As crazy as it may sounds: bouldering inside works best for me at the moment, but I will certainly bring my pads. Again, thanks for your response. Appreciate it. You saved my vacation 

There is an ok wall in Newquay Lsr cnt on the edge of town. It has top/lead and small bouldering!

As above - the Climbing Hanger is the probably the best bet. https://theclimbinghangar.com/plymouth/

There is also the Barn near Launceston - they have a 45 degree woody/training board, finger boards, but less extensive bouldering than the Hanger. http://www.barnclimbingwall.co.uk/

Thanks!

Thanks for the info!
