What an experience - drilling whilst hanging out of a cherry picker at it's highest point (about 20m) is pretty gripping.
Keen youth Dan was back down on saturday to climb some of the lines and Martin and I have been there this evening to do some more cleaning - the routes are really sandy and dusty from the bolting. Should have some names and approximate grades soon......watch this space.Hopefully the 4 lines in are just the start and we'll be able to get a few more in over the next few weeks - the all-weather climbing facility just got even better!

Great stuff! Always wondered if someone would bolt the bridge! :)
really good routes, was a bit dubious but its worth it as the bridge would be really tricky to trad
Bolting a bridge.?You should always be careful, I have notice bolting a bridge its some kind a dangerous thing...

Good effort. How did you go about getting permission out of interest?

Hi Chris,
Martin dealt with the Town Council - but they have been nothing but supportive! They even helped us out getting the cherry picker super cheap.
Cheers
Andy
