caveclimb.com - opening in Buckfastleigh

I am very pleased to announce that we will be opening a second branch of caveclimb.com in Buckfastleigh, Devon.
We have leased a unit next door to the Dartrock Climbing Centre (5 minutes from Pridhamsleigh)  We will stock a comprehensive range of climbing and caving equipment.  We will also offer caving equipment for hire - a service not currently available in Devon (as far as I know).

Our provisional opening date is Saturday 13th March.

Good luck with this Andy - I forwarded your details onto Mine Explorer and will let Sub Brit and the mining History brigade know. I suspect you will do well with Cousin Jack

I am sorry to have to report that caveclimb at Buckfastleigh has closed permanently.  I apologise to anyone who made a journey to find us or hoped to use the shop.  I am afraid we stretched ourselves a bit too far and the level of trade was below the minimum required to sustain the shop. 
Sorry folks - we gave it our best shot.

Andy and Rachel Sparrow
