Late May bank holiday trip to Cornwall
Been moved to May (was originally the Easter trip)
Main activities: trad climbing, bouldering
West Cornwall is famous for multi-pitch climbing but there is also plenty of excellent trad climbing and bouldering at more amenable grades while still retaining the rugged coastal setting.
Cornwall is also just a great place to be outdoors if you fancy walking, kayaking, cycling or coasteering (with a good pasty or cream tea at the end of the day!). We will be staying at Trevaylor campsite near St Just.
