Any news on access?

Whilst walking along the valley floor path a few min ago was challenged by a couple of old ladies walking their dogs - and told ‘the sign says no climbing’. I said that was only for some parts and they muttered something at me and waved me away....

Must have been here 50 odd times and not been asked/challenged before.

They may have been the parish council representatives.

Busybodies will be busybodies. There is a certain type of person who takes anything that doesn't fit into their sphere of experience as a personal affront.

Upon exiting Anston afterwards - I had a good look at the sign. And the ‘rules’ it quotes are all English Heritage sub paragraphs. So as Dolph says at the top of this thread - if its fine with EH then that’s my argument back if challenged again.

I'm sure it's fine, but just to avoid confusion, Dolph didn't mention English Heritage...

However the BMC have liased with Natural England and there is no problem with the guided bouldering effecting areas of SSSI status.
