Know any climbers in England?

[brhe224]

Hi all,

By any chance does anyone have any contacts in England? I'm going to be there for a bit on a U of Kentucky study abroad trip for the beginning and end of the month of May, and was looking to find someone to meet up with. Any help would be great!

If you know anyone, please feel free to email me at brhe224@l.uky.edu

Thanks!

Where in England will you be staying and what time of year, I might be able to help

I'll be in London on May 5th, and have to get onto a ryanair flight to Rome by the afternoon of the 7th. I have a study abroad course from the 8th through the 22nd, but after that I'll be in England again until May 28th. Any help would be awesome, thanks

Really sorry I did not reply earlier. You are going to need to travel out of London to climb. Closest is in Kent and Sussex, short sandstone routes maybe 20-25m max. After that it's Portland or Dorset. Or the Peak district or North Wales. If you use that forum you might be able to get a lift ffrom London. There is also "logbooks" on uk climbing on rock destinations.
Otherwise there are some awesome indoor walls in and around London. Try this link to search http://www.thebmc.co.uk/modules/article ... d=2234&s=1
Sorry again , have a great trip. Tim
