Rocktype Sandstone (hard)
Altitude 230m a.s.l
Faces NW
On a wooded slope, the crag is a series of buttresses which are in varying states of returning back to the hillside. There is, howver, enough for a visit. Single pitch stuff. WARNING: Birds of prey sometimes nest in Savage Crack. Barbed wire has been placed around the bottom of the buttress to prevent access. Please take care not to disturb nesting birds.
From the Thrunton Woods Forestry Commission car park. Go along the road until a track appears on the left. Follow this and after 1.5 km the crag is seen on the right. Alternately follow the tracks through the woods (best approached this way by Mountain Bike).
Take care! This crag is not much used these days and always had the reputation for being more friable than most Northumbrian sandstone outcrops (!). John MacDonald - 24/Jul/02 |
