Guidebook jokes
May 03, 2009, 11:36:21 am
Just been flicking through the North Wales Bouldering guide as I may be paying a visit to Llandudno in the near future (and am too shit to do anything in the Cave of Justice) and noticed that on pg202 there is a picture of Mark Katz with the caption...

"Leo Sayer, Papa Big Punch V8+, Angel Bay/Porth Dyniewyd, Photo/Ffoto: Simon Panton"

...presumably on the basis of "Shit isn't that.."  :lol:

What other jokes or references have you come across in guide books?

The line in the old Stanage guidebook that went:

"The wall boasted a mature silver birch tree (I've got a mature silver birch tree)." always used to make me smile, but I am easily pleased. And I never went to the crag, I think it wa Agden Rocher or Stannington Ruffs or somewhere.

I thought it was priddock woods, far end of bamford.
