Northumberland



The promise of good weather and dry rock tempted Jamie I for a short road trip around the north of England. First stop Kyloe in Northumberland and it's sculpted sandstone crags. A few spots of rain on a northerly wind threatened but thankfully came to nought and we had a good time climbing routes from Severe to VS. The sandstone is pretty hard and offers good protection which is nice as the climbing's pretty stiff for the grades.
Tomorrow off to Bowden Doors; a place that's cropped up in my climbing consciousness for some time but never been visited.
