Where do you live?  There are at least 4 walls within half an hours drive of my house.  I visit them all & all willl welcome newcomers.  There is usually a registration fee along with a safety briefing ion the first visit & a charge for borrowing the kit.  I go with a friend who is doing his "log book" period whilst training to be an instructor.  Some walls are able to be used as an individual, but it is much easier to go with a friend who is around the same weight as you to belay.  Good luck.

Steve.

Where are you based?

If by chance you are near Xscape Castleford West Yorkshire they have a wall open to all, you just turn up pay your money and off you go.
