New
Climbing Wall for Scouts
A
lot of rumblings are occurring down the woods today. The Scout Association
who
have a large camp within Crawfordburn Country Park, just outside Bangor,
Co.Down,
are constructing a huge purpose built open air 'Shed'. This Shed is
designed
to be used as an all weather shelter to hold various scouting
activities
and is big enough to hold over 200 people. However, along the
only
side wall a 22m by 8 m high climbing wall is also being constructed.
The
contact to build the wall looks like going to either Enterprise or
Rockworks.
The wall is expected to be a similar design to the HotRock wall
at
Tollymore i.e. heavily featured and is expected be completed by the end
of
November. Even though access will be limited to scouts it is a welcome
step
forward to positively encourage youngsters to take up climbing and
enjoy
it in a safe, controlled environment. Dib, dib, dib!
