Notes: 1. Venues for Tuesdays have not been fixed so that they can be decided close to the time, usually in the

pub after climbing the previous Thursday !


2. No trips have been included to places like Winterbourne Down, sandstone (too shady ?), much of Forest of Dean sandstone (like Plump Hill), FoD conglomerate (like Huntsham Crags and Hearkening Rock), Ivy Scar in the Malverns (difficult to arrange protection), The Holcombe and Fairy Cave Quarries (too far ?), Sandford Q.(too loose / climbing banned), Uphill Q.(too limited ?), Brean Down (too far ?) and Trym Valley (too overgrown ?)

Should anybody wish to go to any of these places, we can organize Tuesday or weekend trips there !
