Regional Access Database
The BMC's Regional Access Database - or RAD as it's more snappily known - is the definitive source of access info on the web. From bird restrictions and parking advice to sensitive approaches and advice on local ethics, this is the place to go to find out whether you can climb on a crag and just how to approach it.
