Clwyd limestone - important nesting info

Posted by Guy Keating on 22/04/2009
Craig Arthur - one crag with a partial restriction.

Just a gentle reminder for climbers thinking of sampling this delightful area - a number of the crags have active nesting restrictions for protected birds.

The BMC has received several reports of people climbing in restricted areas and affecting the behavior of nesting birds.
Climbers generally have an excellent relationship with the local twitchers and these restrictions only cover a safe minimal area. In addition, the sites are regularly monitored and restrictions are often lifted early.

Please play your part in making sure these voluntary arrangements continue to work.

The BMC RAD pages contain all the up to date Clwyd limestone nesting restrictions, view them Here
