This year it was just me at Wiltonfest, but it was a late shout-out and I had already planned to deliver a session around climbing confidence to a small group in the afternoon. I managed to find a climbing buddy to hang out with early on and polish off a couple of quick seconds, followed by my session, attended by 10 people, which went by quickly and got good feedback. The weather stayed nice and it was a lovely afternoon that was extremely well attended, earning Wiltonfest the accolade of most popular BMC event. Hope to see a good contingent there in 2019.

Meet at 11am in Wilton 2 meeting point, or in the quarries earlier if the mood takes you. 

From 2-4pm I’m running a Developing Climbing Confidence workshop. Lots of other workshops also available. Click here for more info and to book:

The weather is clearly raining itself out ready for scorching sunshine at the weekend! See you there.
