I’m interested in finding out the full story of the Pembrokeshire Castlemartin (Range West) mass climbing trespass of 1991, the run up to it and its aftermath, and I wonder if anyone who frequents these forums was involved or knows people who were?
I heard about it from a climbing instructor in Pembrokeshire last year, have gleaned more bits of it online, but would love to fill in the gaps. I like the way the route names listed in the Climbers Club guide tell their own story: http://www.climbers-club.co.uk/downloads/pembroke-range-west-chron.pdf
Names of first routers during the trespass are Dave Cook (the main organiser I think, but a different Dave Cook to the communist activist and climbing writer who died in 1993) Pat Littlejohn, D Viggers, S Findlay, M Hopkins, A Richardson, P Devine, J Dance, F Ramsey …?
First off this is just a bit of personal amateur research, based on an interest in climbing history and the right to roam movement (but I’m also hoping it will turn into something worth writing about and publishing somewhere). I’d be keen on interviewing any participants either by email or zoom.
