Now the news this week that the long banned crag, just off the A55 Craig Y Forwen has reopened for climbing, was met with suitable pats on the back for all those concerned and involved in the process, however reports that the person who brought about the ban didn’t even own the land, makes you wonder that if anyone had actually got the land deeds out twenty years ago then all this could have been avoided? Or indeed whether the ban was ever ‘legal’
Obviously I wasn’t anything to do with the process, and am no doubt over simplifying the situation. However as it has come to light that the actual owner of the land doesn’t appear to have any problems with climbers if we park and access the crag responsibly and in the BMC described manner.
The news is still great, and I for one am looking forward to climbing there again!
