Cindy Crawford at Ilkley. With the amount of pads around nowadays this should be a must-do for anyone bouldering around the grade. It's brilliant!
has it had more than a couple of accents in the last decade?

An impressive ambition. Be aware that a lot of those probably won't suit your preferred style and you might get spanked.We're coming into bracken and midge season, so be prepared for wading through ferns at Caley, and maybe getting eaten.Unless you are really focussed on those problems you will probably end up like a kid in a candy shop and want to do everything you see.Crookrise is a fair old hike!http://peakbouldering.info/is a good source of beta for the Peak and a number of the larger Yorkshire sites, there are tons of videos online to get you psyched even more.
BUT, the midges I do take seriously - any recommendations for crags with fewer midges?
Watch out for ticks if you plan on going bollock deep in the bracken.
Best chance of stable weather with reasonable connies is probably May or September.
Burbage (north) was disappointing. Worst area we visited, especially given how much Grimes raves about it in Boulder Britain.
I loved the ascetics of the standalone blocks at Stanage
March is statistically the driest month hereThat's a detailed report above. It reads like a Google review of a disgruntled customer.
I think we can confidently take from this that you're wrong and Grimer is right.
Did the ascetic in question have blonde hair and glasses? Could have been UKB's own Dave Thomas.

Thanks for the report back... not bad going for such (worse than usual) UK weather...also nice to hear you really enjoyed the YMC guides... many of us are inspired to give a big lump of our lives for free to produce such works and when 'close in' its hard to judge just how good they are for people using them for the first time.
