Where else would you want to be for the Summer Solstice than the isle of Portland? If you fancy climbing well into the evening, grabbing a chippy and a pint and watching the sunset on the UKs longest day then this is the meet for you.
We're staying at the Bunkhouse located near Portland Bill. This is the perfect location - a 5 minute walk to the crags of Coastguard and Wallsend North/South whose perfect conditions are late afternoon / early evening due to their west facing sea cliffs. Make sure you save some gas to utilise some late day climbing.
Beginners and grade chasers all welcome. Never discount a bit of DWS also.
Supermarkets and pubs aplenty on the island and one of the best chippy's around - Chesil Chippy. Follow it with a pint at the The Cove.
Why aren't we camping? Well the bunkhouse is too good to pass up. Comes with communal dorms, a living room space, an outdoor area for garden games and a big kitchen. You'll get a better sleep than a tent and be all rested for your climbs.
Spaces will fill up quickly for this annual trip!
