Morning all!
Just to start off.... What do you see as the main threat to access to crags in the future... review of CroW, Forest areas sold off?

Morning Rob. There was a short thread a few weeks ago about access at Dover being rescinded by the National Trust. There seemed to be very little interest in the situation there, not the most popular climbing locations granted, but historically important and quality nonetheless. I know you said that you were on the case with this, just wondering if any progress has been made? Cheers, Tom

Something that seems to frequently crop up is the issue of landowner liability following a climbing accident. This is really just a percieved issue as climbers are very unlikely to sue following an accident so Cath is currently working on an Occupiers Liability information leaflet which we can give to landowners that have raised concerns.
