following on the success of the places to visit topic. what about places not visit. somewhere you can vent your spleen having driven for 2 hours to find your chosen venue is a total pile :evil:

[Bubba]

I think you could just add such places to the same "place to visit" forum, but just give the true story about how shite it is....

...and then wait for the abuse from outraged locals....

[dave]

i'm sure theres about 20 people right now thinking the word "stirrup". DON'T EVEN GO THERE GIRLFRIEND!

my top 5 other shite venues are Jesmond Dene, Causey Quarry, Millstone, the Sway-On boulder and the Sugar Cube thing up by elephant cave on the orme.

[Rhys]

Did you meet the tramp at the Sugar Cube? Yeah that place is a big pile of shit.

no, we met a big-ass seal cunningly disguised as a rock which successfully scared the living shit out of us. real big muthafucka it was, i tell thee. ooh er.

[dave]

what are you fucking on cofe? the seal was at marine drive bolders, which looked good.

the sugar cube is soem green shite limestone thing, broken glass etc is up over the back of the cafe at parisellas, mentioned i the old cockfax limestone guide. theres a massive roof cave thing there anall which i thought was called elephant.

[lleyton]

quality! the seal was probably pissed that you'd just missed his badass tusk-lock he'd pulled off in the mono :wink:

hows about roaches, upper tier. horrible. horrible.

stanage plantation in about 3years time?

[Bonjoy]

I know the spot, up the hill from elephant caves, proper skank-hole stinkbuzz!

[cofe]

what are you fucking on cofe?

stronger stuff than you. wanna go millstone later?

[squeek]

i'm sure theres about 20 people right now thinking the word "stirrup". DON'T EVEN GO THERE GIRLFRIEND!

Jordan said he wants to go back up there!

Where/what's this then?

[dave]

talk is cheap!

wanna go millstone later?

i'll bring me rack.

[Bonjoy]

Save your legs:
 The Oxstone - pap on stalk
 The Causeway Slabs - One half decent V3/4 does not justify the walkin
 Reinstor - Ok for a picnic but leave the boots at home unless you're into vertical polish and monos

[dave]

oxstones is indeed toss but at least its a good view.

never climbed at causeway slabs...though i did go poast there once when walking in to the buckstome from redmires.

[tommytwotone]

don't bother dave - been there meself and the place/problems suck like, I believe you say, a dyson.

had a thing for more esoteric venues for a while last year but one visit to causeway slabs killed that good and proper.

not sure about Millstone, granted there's not much there but it's not that much of a walk-in and Technical Master is the best problem in the Peak...

hides under desk waiting for flak

it is truly ace yo, i'll back you up on that.

[Dutch Master Killa]

What about crookstones?  after the epic trek up the bracken and heather infested hillside to find brittle, dirty rock with maybe 2-3 half decent problems :evil:   A truly shite place where I will never go again!

[Pantontino]

That's depressing - I've been wanting to go there for years.

Oh well.

What about some of the newer/obscure crags on Yorkshiregrit.com? What's hot, what's not so hot?

[LJ]

cant do technical master

What about Derwent Dutch, i seem to remember us having a thoroughly splendid expedition up there  :roll: In particular i remember u raving about it for weeks, something about always wanted to go back there since  :wink:

Personally i hate that mingin tourist hole that is Ilkley. The problems tend to fit into two catagories - polished or shit, mayb a third - polished and shit! Admittedly there are some nice problems which i have been on - rons traverse, fun dyno , first arete (probably a few more). Its a personal ting but i have just never got on with the place, probably summit to do wi scallies runnin wild depositing hypodermics wherever they feel fit  :evil:

[Johnny Brown]

Crookstones is indeed shit. Crookrise is great, Rylstone is great, the bit in the middle is shit. How they got away with all that hype when they found the place I'll never know.

Millstone is bo. Anyone who don't like it ain't got no footwork. Green death direct - amazin and unique. Master chef is also the bollox. Wouldn't bother with boho groove tho...

[a dense loner]

well i for one don't like it. oh...

[dave]

2 or 3 problems does not make millstone a good bouldering venue!

[a dense loner]

no, it is shit!
was disappointed with the coach n horses at derwent. i liked everywhere else.

[LJ]

yeah i liked it up there the few times ive been up. Just the day we went up it howled a gale with the wind in our face, making the walk in last forever, did the prefect porthole, and then got caught in the largest rainstorm of my life, without coats and shit, werent most enjoyable day eh dutch?

As for millstone i could never diss it even though im not a fan of the boulderin. Its such a quality crag for everything else i feel obliged to stick up for it. even tho i cant do technical master, he says fightin to keep the tears back :cry:

[Dutch Master Killa]

Don't know what you mean LJ derwent is such an excellent climbing area  Oh yeah you forgot to mention that I had my car broken into :evil:  that day at derwent too- ah fond memories :roll:
