The popular Ron James VS classic 'Touch and Go' at Craig y Gesail
The North Wales BMC Access and Conservation officer, Elfyn Jones has asked for climbers visting the Craig y Gesail cliffs at Tremadog in NW Wales to show some common sense and restraint when visiting the beautifully situated series of crags looking out to Tremadog Bay.
The cliffs lie on private land (Tyddyn Deucwm farm) and the farming family who own the cliffs have always shown great tolerance towards the climbing fraternity.Allowing free parking on their land and erecting a series of stiles between the fields leading up to the cliffs.
Recently however,there has been a series of incidents which have tarnished the reputation of the climbing community. Cars have been driven up to and parked at the farm itself and dogs have been allowed to roam freely amongst the farmer's sheep. In one incident,a climber was ironically bitten by another climbers dog!.
Access to the cliff is only along the permissive path from the parking area just inside the farm gate at the village of Penmorfa, and cars should only be parked just inside the the farm gate.
In the interests of good relations and to enable continued access, please engage your brain when you visit, and consider others who both depend on the land beneath the crag for their livelihood and those who visit Gesail for the superb climbing.
