Venue
Battleship & The Veranda, Portland, Dorset
Meet on Reap Lane in Portland at 10am. Parking is roadside parking along Reap Lane, please try and park considerately.
Suitability
Summary: Open to all
We’re heading to Battleship, which has been a popular club destination for a while as it has decent access and a huge number of climbs spanning all grade ranges.
This meet is suitable for everyone, including those who haven’t climbed outside before and it’s a great location for your first outdoor experience. There will be club members there who can help put up top ropes for those who don’t yet fancy leading outdoors, so all are welcome.
Whilst we will make every effort to climb outside, if the weather is looking unfavourable, we’ll head to Calshot instead. Notification will be posted on Discord and Facebook beforehand
We should also be heading to a pub after the climb.
Please use the Discord channel and/or the Facebook group to organise lifts to reduce the number of cars travelling.
