Rec climb West Worcestershire / Hfds / Shropshire border 20th April

[WorcsWuss]

Was a nice day today, bloody cold but nice nonetheless, so popped up to recce for the 20th.

If it stays dry we should have no problems getting up there. Still a bit wet today.

I ran a tape up a couple of trees to get an idea of what we've got.

I think the biggest I can offer is around 20m, and most are around 15m, so nothing big.

Nice to climb though, and being mostly oak they come out late so should still be nice and open on the 20th.

Couple of photos from this morning....

Well, first day of work in the British summer time, so I pumped the tyres up on the bike and went for a short blast. Stopped in to have a look at the other area I'd like us to climb in while I was there and took some photos. Some ideal novice trees here.

Photos....

And a few more.....

 

This one is away from the others but is a nice straight tree which is an easy climb from the floor, no need to use rope access. Proper old fashioned tree climbing tree!

I sent an email out yesterday to everyone on the list.

Could anyone who hasn't responded yet check it and come back to me.

Thanks!

Still think me and Joe are in!

 

Cheers!

 

Thought I'd better post a few more photos of some of the other climbing areas just so those of you travelling from a long way don't waste a journey if they're a bit small for you. You know what you're in for!

I did park my bike at the foot of them to give an indication of scale but it hasn't shown up very well!

Yeh I'm still up for it, seeing as I've just seen this post before email may as well say on here
