2025 Meets Diary

Interested in going on a trip?  We have tried to come up with a varied meets diary which caters for the E-grader as well as some more family/beginner orientated trips. And, as ever, we hope to introduce a few more people to the delights of Southern Sandstone!

Ongoing

In addition to scheduled trips, our “routine” unscheduled meets depend on the time of year. During the indoor part of the season we try to meet up one evening a week at an indoor wall. At the moment this usually takes place on Wednesday evenings – usually either at K2 Crawley or High Sports in Withdean, Brighton, and sometimes at Volume 1, East Grinstead. But it does vary from week to week so please check to be sure.

During the outdoor part of the season we are typically at Stone Farm rocks most Wednesday evenings if the weather is good enough, and most weekends there will be a group of us at Bowles, Harrisons or one of the smaller sandstone crags.

February

1st & 2nd February: Two Sandstone Volunteers Group work days at Harrisons Rocks – clearance, revetment work and general maintenance of the crag – all volunteers welcome. Please be sure to speak to one of the SVG organisers on arrival.

March

TBA March: Crag Walk – a traditional walk along the Southeast’s sandstone crags. Probably too early to do much climbing, but a good chance to see some of the smaller, less frequented outcrops.

May

20th – 21st May: The Gower, probably including a session climbing off the beach at Rhossili.

June

17th – 18th June: Swanage – probably a day trip.

July

5th – 7th July: North Wales – Tal-y-Braich hut booked for 10.

29th – 30th July: Dartmoor – an exploration of the Tors.

September

Date TBA: 5 days in Kalymnos – aspirational only…
