Felixstowe! It's awfull! I've been stuck here in 'the poor mans far east' for five weeks now and it's driving me insane! There is no respectable crag within a 50 mile radius of the area! No wonder there's no outdoor shops in sight! Argggh!

I never thought I'd get withdrawal symptoms from climbing, but it seems to have appeared in the form of cabin fever, due to being stuck in the same tiny B&B for 5 week after coming back from an active holiday in the Alps. And to make matters worse, I've three more weeks of this damned "work experience" (sitting in a metal shed on site for 10hrs/day]

Not really asking for sympathy, just wondering if anybody else has had a bland monotonous summer? [it just might make me feel a little better, lol]

Sorry this is just a rant, feel free to add to the places NEVER to go to in the UK for climbing!

sorry james, i've had an amazing summer for climbing! but i will say where i live is pretty rubbish. vale of york is the flattest place you've ever seen. no crags! none at all. on the upside everywhere's an hour away. everywhere.

Yeah I know! Judging by people FBk pages, loads of people have been doing loads of climbing! It good to know, yet depressing for myself at the same time.

Glad you've had a good summer climbing though.

5mins walk from climbing when its raining and when your stuck at work doing 50/60 hour weeks!!

In Birmingham, on days when the weather is ok, when people are asking you to go climbing but you have to do your masters dissertation.

Im agreeing with katie on this one as we are both from the shire which is SHITE and where climbing is unheard of except for team building trips in year 8 to Whales! bad times. god bless portland! x

Fact.

climbing doesn't come into it.

Unless you pay 10 pounds to go to the local wall.....

Jack's got a point... not even a climbing wall here in Felixstowe! :/
