Rec climb Watford/ Hunting for uk gems.

[Adam Bourne]

Haaaa!

 

Don't know what I'm more excited about climbing something for a change over 80ft or meeting a load more new faces

 

Either way a little bit of wee might escape

I'm going on Saturday and I'm bringing Aaron he is learning to climb at the mo so should be good for someone to show him something new .

Hello all. Google and pulleys brought me here a few months back and I stayed for the splicing, but this thread coaxed me into registering.

 

As a local I'm about 5 minutes from the Lime Avenue so I thought I'd stop by on Saturday to spectate for a while.

 

Also I have a cheeky favour to ask. About 5 minutes walk from the Grove Mill car park, heading along the main path that runs west towards Rouse Barn Lane, there is an old piece of rope tied to a branch overhanging a disused pit. It's used as a swing by local kids in the summer months, but it's been up there a few years now. Would it be too much to ask for someone to wander by and check it out with a view to removing it if possible. I cringe when I see someone swinging on it and it's not doing the tree much good either. Problem is the drop, as it's out over a pit. It is about an 6m drop if the rope breaks.

 

If you're so inclined you might like to checkout the star wars locations on the way - I kid you not.

 

Below is a map with the location of the rope swing marked.
