The army intend to keep Range East in Pembrokeshire closed until the end of July, even at weekends - I'm not sure whether they will open it up then or not. Range West will be closed until after next year's briefings. These are very significant restrictions on the Pembrokeshire climbing.

A bit more info and details regarding the situation in Wales in the article on the BMC website

Also in reply to the comment about the Castlemartin Ranges in Pembrokeshire, we are in discussion with the National Park and the MoD and we are hopeful that the car parks at St Govan's and Stack rocks and the coastline in between will be open as usual, subject to firing restrictions from July 6th onwards... and almost certainly will be from July 13th. There may be some additional seasonal restrictions due to nesting birds which will be noted on signs at the car parks and of course on the BMC RAD.
