Crag features
A very simple traverse, not really worth grading but decent for warming up on. A couple of short easy climbs and one decent section with three variations making some decent routes if you live local and have a few spare hours. The most challenging aspect of most of the climbs is the sandy, grassy top outs.
The sandstone itself is a mix of quite hard sandstone, and crumbling sandstone. Once the crumbly stuff has been brushed away its not so bad, just slightly soft. Each hold will need brushing after each climb.
Area at the base of the crag is being used for camping / fire pits.
Few good overhang bouldering problems. Enjoyable hour.
Approach notes
The walls themselves are in a fairly small wooded area. The best place to park is down the road to the left of the pin i have placed as the map reference point. There are two large gates just off the road with enough room to park two cars. Its like a tiny layby or something.
Once parked up, hop over the gate and turn left, follow the path thats pretty much parallel to the road and the walls are within afew hundred meteres. It might take a tiny bit of exploring as there are two areas slightly seperated from each other that have walls.
I hope this helps, feel free to get in touch if you plan to check the walls out.

| So, after discovering the one with the tree on top of the sandstone (which would be the first one you'd come across), if you stick left from there and continue walking you should come across the next area, its in a dip so you pretty much have to be on top of it before you see it. Hope this helps. JonnyPeka - 09/Aug/12 |

| Popped up there today, found the crag with the tree directly on the top corner of the sandstone had a wonder but couldn't find the other one? Had a bit of a clean round it, as there were some fallen tree branches in the way, stone needs a brush off, I will do this on my return, but all in all it's a hard sand stone really.
