Hi. Thanks for the post. I have a question. I have been there today. About half a mile from sun rising hotel we found a rock which looked a bit like black rock sector but nothing like the two top pictures. Where exactly is the main rock? Thanks.

Hi, walking uphill on the single track road from the pub you will cross a cattle grid. Follow the road right (uphill still). In the distance you will see the crag high up in front of you. Keep following the road until it turne into a track and then tarmac road again. At this point, the crag will be clearly visible on your left high up. Follow a grass path, turning into a rocky path steeply up to the crag. As you pass an old metal pully, continuing up towards the main crag, lookout for "Black rock sector" below it to the right.
