Chudleigh

After a very wet week in Devon Staurday brought some welcome sunshine and it was dry for Chris and Steve who were now learning to lead climb. The afternoon brought showers up on the moor so we were in the right place down at Chudleigh.

Commando Ridge Bosigran


This weekend I was working in Cornwall at Bosigran, an excellent climbing venue. Tom and Hamish travelled down from Bath and wanted to do Commando ridge, a classic 700ft VD that rises out of the sea and is the closest thing to an alpine ridge that you will find without going to North Wales or Scotland. The weather was very warm and sunny even though it was forecast for showers.

The route starts on a platform just above the sea (right)
