UKC

Hi In June I will be moving to Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire for a new job. 

Is there any climbing around there? I've looked at UKC and it looks a bit quiet in terms of local crags and I wanted to know what the climbing scene is like.

How active are the local climbing clubs?

I don't know about clubs, but alas you couldn't have moved to a flatter part of the country, climbers nightmare!

No climbing around here I'm afraid, aside from traversing the odd railway bridge.

I climb with CCCC in Cambridge.  Reasonably active, with cars heading to the Peak most weekends for a day trip. There were about 18 of us in Cornwall over Easter and there are a few cars off to Font next weekend.  Email the climbing secretary through the website if you want more info.

I thought this was a joke post.  

You'll always get some chauvinistic replies but in reality you're not in a bad spot if you're prepared to drive (or use the train) to the Peak, fairly easily doable for day trips;  nothing local though.
