Fear and Loathing in Lincoln
Up until 2 weeks ago, I lived in Sheffield, on the Peak District side. If you on onto UK Climbing www.ukclimbing.com you can search the crags database for a variable search radius from your home. I just did that for my old address, 10 miles from S7 gives you ……… 60 crags! Including…..Rivelin, Stanage, Burbage, Froggatt, Curbar…..I could go on. Some of the most important crags in the world, especially for bouldering.
So, this morning I performed the same test for my new house in Lincoln, 10 miles from LN8 ….. one crag, Limestone, 33 climbs !!! So my faithful bouldering and I headed over there this morning for a recce.
The glory of Greetwell Quarry, Lincoln. Surely a prime contender for landfill?
Deep gloom. We got in the car and drove the 100 mile round trip to the Climbing Works in Sheffield….S7
Greetwell Quarry, Noodle can’t bear to look
