I would echo the sentiments of others and say thorn is the crag of choice if the weather is good and you have time for the half an hour walk in. If the weather is so so though you could do worse than brownstones near Bolton (short diversion off the m61). Walk in is 2 minutes, it faces west and gets all the sun going so drys in an instant, not as grotty as many lancs quarries with a nice flat grassy landing and quite open (not the typical hole in the ground quarry feeling). Plenty of great problems in the lower grades along with some harder old school crimpy test pieces in the 7's. Sent from my ZTE A2016 using Tapatalk
Fatneck, I always thought Blackstone was better for easier grades than Thorn
