Hello everyone, we're going to be going bouldering to the hotly anticipated venue, Thorn Crag. This trip is  open to all abilities and experience levels, however there is a long, uphill walk in (~ 1 hour) so please bear this in mind. Bouldering is climbing short routes using foam pads rather than ropes to protect a fall, and it's a really accessible way to try outdoor rock climbing! We'll be heading over in the morning and then heading home from early to late afternoon.

Its really easy to go and do this on your own once you know what your doing; you can borrow club pads and head off to our local favourites Windy Clough or back to Thorn Crag before you know it!

We'll be meeting at University House, 8 30 am Saturday (subject to weather change) University House is located right next to the Bowland porters or Chaiplancy and can be found by walking straight from the library front entrance through the two sets of double doors opposite. Alternatively if my directions are crap, here is a pin. 

Kit
You will need:

• Waterproof Coat and lots of Layers, it could get very cold standing around
• Plenty of Food and Water for the day (Take more than you think)
• Appropriate footwear for walking across rough terrain
• Climbing Shoes (If you don't have any, that's fine! Just put so on the form when you buy your ticket and we will let you borrow some)

If you happen to own a bouldering mat, please bring it along! You may want to let us know beforehand if you live in town so we can pick it up.

We aim to make all of our trips fully accessible so we've included a form so you can tell us about any requirements or details you would like to share. Only the exec and appropriate group leaders will see this information. If you have any questions about this trip message Jonathan wood, or for accessibility specific questions, our EDI officer Ben Watson. There are no toilet facillites at the crag. 

Get flipping mega psyched!!!!

Any questions, chuck Jonathan Wood a message
