Climbing insurance for recreational climbing

[ADB328]

I have my climbing ticket and have been climbing for pleasure rather than work at a woodland local to me. However today they have said that for me to continue to climb there i must now provide public liability insurance.

 

Is this the correct insurance and how much can i expect to pay, i'm not doing chainsaw or any remedial work at all its all just for pleasure but would like an idea of what i can expect to pay or even if this is the correct insurance for what i am doing.

 

Thanks

Are you not covered under your home insurance

It often covers sports such as cycling canoeing ect

Of course i can do that but this site is important as its being used a for a long term wildlife project where climbing has to be done.

try the bmc, if I remember right you get public liability with membership
