New South Lakes Beginners Venue

Written by LakesBloc Monday, 03 November 2003 00:00

With the weather craping out a bit towards the end of October, the Lakes action seems to have slowed down a bit of late. That said, old school campaigner Tom Walkington has been busy cleaning up a solid 4m high limestone wall. This is situated on the path which forks left from the swing gate on the major path into Trowbarrow quarry (from the lay-by on Storrs Lane). Now before you all pull on your duvets and vacate the cellar, despite being a nice piece of rock this is very much an easy low-end venue, as it is slabby and riddled with holds. That said it would be ideal for beginners and kids as there are loads of good easy up problems and traverses as well as limitless eliminates all with excellent landings.
