cheers...the climbing pictures were on a easy classic route call Bracket and Slab Climb (Vgood) on Gimmer crag in Langdale. The felled Beech was in a local park in Swansea. The tree pictures were after a long day scrambling on the hills around Patterdale. I saw so many old interesting trees whilst up in the Lakes it’s such a great place to visit.

 

My friend has just joined the Fire and Rescue Service in Cumbria so plenty more climbing trips in the pipe line!

The trees above Patterdale are in an old deer park, so there are some real belters in there, and down in the grounds of the Patterdale Hall outdoor centre.

All the way up to Gimmer for one route - you must like walking!. If you're going up again try going up to Gimmer via Middle fell butress (diff) on Raven crag, makes to walk in more interesting. Could even try going to Dow crag (Nr Coniston) - nicer walk in, less veg on the routes and more 3* routes to choose from. The downside is that is greasy as, if it's even a little bit damp!

 

The only fire boys i know are in Barrow and more interested in birds & booze than crags:confused1:
