On a beautiful spring evening 11 members of the KMC visited Shepherds Crag in Borrowdale. The weather was warm, the climbing was “hot”. Routes bagged included Brown Crags Wall, Brown Slabs and Brown Slabs Direct, Jaws, Eve, North Buttress, PS and Wild Sheep. Refreshments and post climb analysis were enjoyed in the Borrowdale hotel. Thanks to Ed, Mike W, Mark M, Tina, Mike K, Scott, Adam, Pete, Brian and Geraint who joined me in a great evenings climbing.
Borrowdale Traffic: Last night the anticipated “road closure” came into force at 1800 as expected. However we were surprised to observe that a convoy system was in place to manage local traffic past the works which meant the exit was down Borrowdale as usual just following a works vehicle. My guess is that this will be the system for the duration as the road is two lane all the way.
However on the way up the valley after 1800 you will be turned round at the Borrowdale roundabout unless you are heading to one of the hotels or live up the valley. So late arrivals take note it is technically correct that you are heading to the Borrowdale Hotel……just dont mention that is after an hour or twos climbing!
Cheers
Mark
