Bouldering at Weston Supermare

admin — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 22:37:37 +0000

The first outdoor climbing this winter and it’s the 8th Jan. Stu and I went to Western Supermare for a bit of bouldering. We had to park at a new cafe for the bouldering so we had to try the breakfast and it was a good one. One to go in Johnies cafe guide. Let’s hope the bouldering is as good so we can go back to the cafe. Unfortunately the small crag was soaking looked good bouldering but you would only come here in the summer but thats probably not going to happen. So sport climbing at Brean Down it is then!

On the way as usual we were chatting away and missed the turning and did a big circle, this happens all the time, O well. Eventually got to Brean and it is full of people on the few sports climbs, a right circus. The trad climbing at Brean looks fun if not a little scary. We decided that we could make up a couple of good long traverses pumpy pumpy. This was followed by some other good boulder problems we made up. It would not be a trip out with Stu if I didn’t try and hit him with some bits of rock, got to love a bit of loose bouldering. As the tide came in we quickly packed up and went home.
