On the 12th day of Christmas Scottish Geology Trust gave to me… 12 drumlins swarming! 🥁🎶

Drumlins are elongated hills of rock & sand, formed by glaciers. Collectively they are a 'field' or 'swarm'. These Drumlins are in Glen Torridon. They can vary in size, & their orientation reveals the direction of the ice flow - in this case over 11,500 years ago during glacials in the Highlands.

Want to visit some drumlins for yourself this year? You can explore an interactive map of drumlins and other ice age features here - https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=ffde62df7bac49c6826e1fa35244ab36&s=09

Some good Christmas news!

After lots of hunting, we have finally found a great building!

For the last 3 months we have been working with the owners of the Telford Retail Park to secure Unit 2 in the park (next to Currys) for the Ledge Climbing Gym.

We agreed heads of terms 6 weeks ago and following detailed negotiations, our architect Reynolds Architecture applied for change of use planning permission on the 16th November.

This “change of use” application is now in the public domain which means we can now officially tell everyone this fantastic news.

The building is on one of the best sites in the city and will give us 1393m2 of floor space - aka enough to accommodate over 900m2 of bouldering and lead, a large strength and conditioning space, a Café Kraft style training space, a yoga studio (or event space), good café, and supporting retail.

If planning and the design stages go to schedule we are looking to open late Autumn 2022.

We will keep in touch over the next few weeks as we firm up the plans, timetable and the necessary funding drive.

Third time lucky! 👊

This is the most intense belay I have ever endured. I have not abseiled the line myself to inspect the gear, and although she feels the cluster below the crux at the top is adequate, I am not convinced.
