To be honest I personally disagree that bolts are visually intrusive, but the fact remains that we have negotiated ourselves a nice deal in Cheedaleand we have to live by it whether we agree or not. If we are stepping outside of the agreed bounds then we need to self police and be seen to do so.
tunnels all open yesteryither. Could see bolts on Dong's Dinner quite clearly from the bridge. Done a map while eating a sandwich:blue dotted line is path from wormhill (obviously), red dotted one shows the old railway and the BIG TUNNEL. Really easy/pleasant walk pretty much straight to the crag. path down to cornice etc is signed on the left (approaching from Miller's Dale) after tunnel - easy to spot.

Would prefer to keep it a little lower profile and avoid some of the idiotic comments which are par for the course on there. DWT etc monitor forums and it doesn't always give them a great impression of climbers.can't it be added but without an attached forum thread? the point of all this is to publicise, right? Seems crazy to not use UKC's news function.

Its 2011
Clearly, this thread doesn't seem to be getting word out? Or folk are ignoring it?How about a BMC styli notice, plasticised & hung up at the Cornice for a few weeks. Some details of new approach, parking, bolting policy, Wormhill resident issues etc......Or get it on the other Channel
Used the new approach to the Cornice/Chee Tor this eve. Its . There were 6 cars at Wormhill at 5.30. More arrived I'm sure as the Cornice was busy. We just warmed up there then went on The Ogre......

Never understood the reluctance to pay for parking...
relatively the cost of parking isn't that high
I do prefer the way Stanage Popular has a collection box rather than forcing pay and display (and always throw a quid or so in when I'm leaving)
the main issue for me isn't the cost, but whether the revenue goes back into the national park and its facilities. i'm sure with the P&D car parks in the eastern peak, the money doesn't. i can't remember where i read/heard that (BMC meeting), but it's a big issue for me.
