Cheddar Climbing?
Are you heading to Cheddar? Please, please check the BMC access database to see where climbing is and is not permitted - https://www.thebmc.co.uk/modules/rad/view.aspx?id=930
Note - today (31st May) access is restricted in the "orange" areas on the map. Copies of the map and information about where you can climb are also clearly posted in the gorge.
Sadly, after a very good start last weekend, with nearly all climbers sticking to the rules, our Cheddar access rep reports that about 20% of climbers in the gorge were climbing where they should not over the last 6 days. If this continues, there is a real risk that the landowner could withdraw our permission to climb, so please stick to the rules. Also, if you see someone climbing where they should not, please have a quiet, friendly word with them and explain the situation.
Thanks for your help, we really do not want to loose access to this great venue.
