Lower Montcliffe Quarry - currently banned.
November 05, 2016, 08:26:30 pm
Visited there today. Lovely wee suntrap but got asked to leave by the new owner. Grumpy at first but managed to have a useful conversation about the situation. She's concerned about climbers at the top of the quarry spooking her horses, and also have had climbers disrespecting previous requests to leave. She's informed the BMC and Les Ainsworth about this, but too late to be included in to latest Lancashire master-tome.

There's no sign on the approach path and it would be useful for the BMC to put on there, as there are no issues mentioned in the guide, people might not check the RAD and might keep coming.

She is planning to fence off the quarry and hopefully allow climbers' access with prior permission next year, so please respect the current ban to allow the situation to progress positively (and then you can all flock back to highball the E8 7a / V10 prow which looks amazing).
