FIRE!!!
July 18, 2006, 02:56:58 pm
Just found out that the Peak Park have closed all moorland areas due to the high fire risk. The only crags that are open are; Stanage popular (south of the causeway), Frogatt, Curbar and the Roaches. Everything else of that ilk e.g Burbage valley, Millstone, Lawrencefield, Bamford, Gardoms, Birchens, Kinder etc are closed until further notice (or some heavy rain). Lucky the limestone's dry. ;)

Spoke to Henry Folkard this a.m., who is the BMC Access rep. He spent the morning negotiating with the Peak Park who wanted to shut everything.

All change! Now, the only crags to be shut will be; high moorland e.g. Kinder, Shining Clough, Chew valley, Bamford, Baslow, Gardoms and Stanage north of the Causeway. Burbage, Millstone, lawrencefield, Birchens are now ok as long as they are approached via public rights of way.

The Dawes told me one time that on the day he did Benign Lives, all the moors were closed for fire risks, and they had to hide from wardens when they were at the crag. There must have been no Andy harris back then?
