Is looking PANTS!

<sigh> just wish my copy of GTA Vice City was here, then I could spend the weekend taunting the filth.

[dave]

Surely its not that bad!

Saturday: Dry AM, wank-out PM
Sunday:


Could be worse, especially since mi bitch is on a trip to Madchester on sunday so i can climb guilt-free all day! :bang:  

[Bubba]

Yeah, but I can't do Sunday  

Maybe an early start Sat and just nip out to the Peak but I was hoping to get further afield, up to Earl or even somewhere like Lord's Seat - see the topos on yorkshiregrit.com

It gets light at 7:08 am on Saturday, so you ought to get out at the crack of dawn (maybe having warmed up at home) and the conditions will be obscene - you'll stick to that grit like shit to a blanket!

[dobbin]

Personally i think i will be tucked up in Bed at that time. Foundry after 4 methinks. the new board is good by the way.

[dave]

....or even somewhere like Lord's Seat - see the topos on yorkshiregrit.com

I must admit gaylord's seat does look pretty "rad" - looks like you could do a monster curcuit and tick most of the problems in a visit if you went mad for it. How long, roughly, would it take to get there from sheffside?

[Bubba]

Bloody hours I reckon - not entirely sure of the location without my trusty guide to hand, but reckon there's a bit of a walkin too. Rock looks nice as well. Probably not as far as Slipstones, etc.

When I wer t'a lad, we wuz up there at 5 every Sat'dy morning, mind only when t' wethers shite coz sos' t' bouldering :wink:

15 mins walk in gently up hill.  Tip from the top, go to Rylstone instead, no problems it says on the website, my arse no problems

[Bubba]

yeah, I suspected there'd be a few good problems up there - wanna go up there and Crookstones....and Lords Seat, and that banned one - loads of stuff in Yorkshire to play with  :D

[Norton Sharley]

Couldn't resist to start adding comments to the Brimham section, not that I know anything about the place or wrote the guide or anything.  Bloody modern boulderers, chunter, chunter. :twisted:

[AndyR]

There's some top stuff up on Lords Seat  - some of the problems round the back might be a bit green, but the vast majority would be in good nick - the V2 dyno is basically genius.

Rylstone is ok, but most of the stuff is quite highball, and really feels like an old fashioned trad crag.

[Bubba]

What's the walkin like to Lords Seat? Is it a boggy horror or not too bad?

[AndyR]

Not too bad (but pretty fuckin' uphill for the first half!) - they've actually paved the boggiest sections with big flagstones (a bit like on top of Dovestones Tor in the peak). I wouldn't wear your favourite trainers though.......

[Bubba]

Cheers for that - about how long are we talking in time terms??

[AndyR]

A 'good' half an hour (about 3/4 hr if you're lazy like me) - the return would be rocking on a bike  :D

[Big Frank]

Slipstones for me tomorow and may be Mr.Yorkshiregrit as well.
