Hi,

I am currently preparing my MIA assessment (http://www.mltuk.org/mia.php) in October and am planning on doing a days guiding/instruction at Fairhead this Saturday coming (11th Sept), weather permitting obviously! I have 1 person already and am looking another. If you are keen to learn more about multi pitch climbing, belay setups, stance organisation, rope management and just generally going climbing then this is suited to you! You will need to be capable of seconding VS 4b/4c to gain the most from the day.

If you are interested reply on here or send me a PM. The day is free by the way! If it so happens that that the weather will be better in the Mournes then it will happen there!

Many thanks,

John Orr

In my opinion, there wasn't any bouldering at Bloody Bridge worth travelling to, and I lived three minutes drive away! All crumbly dirty rubbish, above awful landings.

Stick to the rock pool, although sadly some cretin had kindly lit a ruddy fire in the base of it which has coated the whole corner in black filth and cracked some of the flakes. The damage isn't too bad, but a good outdoor brush is needed to get it back in order. We removed a lot of the smashed bucky bottles and melted neon jackets (good night right there...) but I'm back in England this week.

Dumby may be more attractive at the minute ....

Yupp i would never like to share the hanging belay ever...

A group of us heading to Font tomorrow morning, and we have paid to bring 3 bouldering mats, but only have two at the minute, one of the pads we planned on taking is locked in someones house who is currently in Indonesia and I dont really want to have to go round and break his windows.   

Is there anyone in or around Belfast that can lend us a mat for the next week.

We can collect

Send me a pm or post up here and i'll pass on my details

Many thanks

Midnight Cruiser was my first E1 at the head, I found it no harder than Hells Kitchen and with better gear.

I did this route and thought it bench mark E1.Definitely would be E1 in The Peaks anyway.Anyone recommend a good E1 at Fairhead, I have lead Hells kitchen but some of the E1 their look desperate!

I went on that advice and had a wee stop off at the Rockpool instead.

Not too bad for an urban bouldering spot, no more toxic than Dumbarton Rock anyway.

theyre down on the shore beneath where the bloody bridge car park is and they're chuff.  Rock pool is way better, which is saying something.

I noticed in the Short Span guide there are some boulders 'on the coast road at Bloody Bridge'.

I can't think I've ever seen them - where are they exactly and are they good?

Cheers.

Last wednesday night I left my harness at the Ozone- it has gone from the wall and wasn't handed in at the desk- if anyone has picked it up mistakenly, I'd be really grateful if you would get in touch.

It's a black diamond harness pale blue with grey webbing and belay loop- http://www.dominiclacasse.com/domlacasse.php?lang=en&cat=video#mainfr
