Is there any ice in the quarry in Bedford?

I'm in town with ice gear

Shannon: Have a look and let us know. Seems unlikely, but the weather has been weird. Peter

Hey peter how are you? Will hopefully get a chance to climb the season. I think I'm being storm chased tomorrow. May try victoria park on our way home.

Would anyone be able to give me directions to said quarry? Would it be a good place to go for an evening climb by headlamp?

The MGRS coordinates to the parking spot for the quarry are: 20T MQ 50770 55766. I’d recommend typing them into Google Earth (you’ll have to convert them to Latitude Longitude first – this can be done at http://www.arsitech.com/mapping/mgrs/) and then clicking on the directions option. This will enable you to get step-by-step directions from a starting point of your choice to the Bedford Quarry. From the parking spot, you’ll be able to see rock cliffs that are about 300 m away (look northwest). Head towards them and you’ll find the ice. I’m sure if you’re hardcore enough you’ll be able to get away with climbing at night with a headlamp. Also, if you’re looking for a climbing partner I’d be up for it (I like to think I’m hardcore enough myself).

Yo V,
That's a great sequence of photos of Seb and the falling ice... very nice!

Yeah Veronica – impressive photos! You’re quite the photographer (and I’m not just saying that because I’m in them).

And that's not easy to do with boots that imply: "it's a girl"

If you think that's not easy, you should try ice climbing in heels!
