BMC Peak Limestone guide(s)

This was a major subject at last nights well attended Peak area meet

Now Moorland Grit has been put to bed there is only a facelift worrk onthe Burbage guide before Ian Carr and Grimer turn their attentions to Peak Limestone.  :dance1:

Current view is to have two volumes with a North West and South East guide though Neil Foster with some support suggested that they could be combined if the shitty bolted and popular quarries got its own guide. Also very obscure neglected locations like Strawberry rocks wouldnt be in the guide though as the info would be available as free pdf downloads off the BMC site.

80 or 90% of the guide has been written up in a raw/first cut way but there is a lot more work to do. Ian Carr invites anyone who ones to get involved (collectivelly or as individuals) to email him at peaklimestone@yahoo.co.uk

This could be: Climbing and checking, Whole Crags, Parts of Crags, Scripts, Introductions, History, Formatting, Photographs, Action Shots, Crag Shots, Topos

The aim is for this stage of guidebook work to be completed by end of summer 2012  :-\

grimer:
Just to say - the limestone is being started on right away, and not waiting for Burbage.

Johnny Brown:
Good good. I wonder is there any potential to contract the Burbage facelift out?

You know it makes sense, good arrows.

Personally I'd prefer the guide to be split the other way and I think it should be considered that with a competing select guidebook on offer (probably earlier than the BMC definitive), people may prefer to buy one select rather than two definitives which contain crags of little relevance/interest.

The other way, two guides are produced for two clearly different markets (and I can't see whats wrong with that).
