Bodmin Bouldering on Facebook

As many of you may know local guidebook author Sean Hawken has set up a community page on Facebook for Bodmin Moor Bouldering. The bouldering around Bearah, Kilmar Trewortha and Hawk's Tors has really had an explosion of interest of late and Sean has been compiling details with a view towards documenting it all in a guide. Anyway those of you who are on Facebook can probably 'like' the page (I guess) to get involved, find out wason, enjoy the general banter and look at photos of dogs copulating whilst Simon Downing climbs Mustang! What more could trendy social networking new media types ask for?!

Cheesewring Climbing website updated

I have finally got round to updating the Cheesewring Climbing website which was set up to help support production of the recent guide. This site will now be maintained as a source for climbing related information for the South East Cornwall area. On this site can be found general info about the area, the most recent guidebook and old reviews of the previous 1973 guide and 1998 guide. There are also pages for articles and archive material which I intend to add to from time to time.

Most importantly there is a page for New Routes and Updates where I'll be uploading descriptions of routes climbed since the publication of the definitive Cheesewring & South East Cornwall guide (2012), as well as any future updates regarding access details, re-equipping, corrections, etc.

I hope people will find these webpages useful and let me know about any additions, as in the long run it will help aid production of any future climbing guides to the area.
