Fingal Access Details - New Landowner

The property at Bare Rock at Fingal now has a new landowner who is a rockclimber. Andrew Martin and his partner Alannah are the owners of the property and they are climbers who reside in Queensland. The house will be their holiday house. They have sent me the following email with their requests and conditions regarding access to Bare Rock which needs to be respected. posted by Gerry Narkowicz

Can you please indicate to the Tassie Climbing Crew that we are more than happy to have climbers access the land to climb at Bare Rock (Fingal), although we would prefer that people go up the side boundary fence (as opposed to the main drive) and then hook a right turn to the obvious parking area. We would also appreciate a quick call on 0418883418 telling us that you are heading up there... as we have neighbours looking out for the place and that way I can tell them of your intended arrival. The other number is not currently connected, but may well be by christmas. Either way the mobile is the way to go. Of PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE is the realization that the road up to Bare Rock is not council maintained, and in fact, is paid for and maintained by the 3 property owners (myself included). The other two have therefore asked that any climbers PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY as this seems to really irritate them (the road gets chewed up very easily, as well as noise etc). I know this is a very small ask, but keeping the neighbours happy on this one would seem to be the wise option. Other than that I hope you all enjoy climbing there as much as I did. I will be down from Late November through to late January... so if you are around then... pop in, grab a beer (if there are any left) say hello etc... we would love to get to know the Tasmanian climbing crew!
