Rockfax Yorkshire Grit Bouldering Guide now only £5 from RocknRun and direct from Rockfax.
Just thought some on here might like to know this.
Unfortunately I have no need for 2 copies.

Isn´t a new Yorkshireguide supposed to be published sometimes soon?

[mowern]

Thats probably pretty likely, I guess. Am probably guilty of a hasty post there I reckon.

AFAIK there's a new guide in the offing, written by Steve Dunning.

[Christobal]

Is there any approximate date of release?

[Andy F]

Before the end of the year. Which year I'm not sure  ???

[chappers]

soon, i am told,  by the end of november...wait and buy that rather than an out of date one!
so...rock and run/rockfax are selling all copies of old one off i assume.

No they're brand new ones at a fiver, get 'em while they're hot! 

[Greg C]

Incidentally, I have a few PDF sample pages which look good and yes it is in Font grades.

its true, gradewise yorkshire is being dragged kicking and screaming into the 20th century nice one steve.

brand new old stock. nice way with words there greg 

can you post up the sample pages???

[Stubbs]

I'm was worried about the excellent looking new guide luring more people up from the peak, but then that driving thread last month assured me this would not be the case - think of the extra mileage 

[dave]

don't worry, cofe's new wheels are so fuel efficient it practically churns out fivers as you bomb up the M1, like being given a lift in a cash machine.

[Stubbs]

Not much room for mats though homes

[Drew]

Crikes!!! Wouldn't you be better off on a bike?

[Sypeland]

It should be out by the end of the month
There will be a gurt big pile of them half way down Pateley Bridge high street, so you can get one on the way to Brimham.

Because everywhere in Europe uses font grades? And climbing in yorkshire is much more akin to that in font than it is in Hueco?

Because V grades are wank. You should be celebrating.

Stop beating around the bush.  Say what you mean...

I see that more and more Font grades have been popping up on the Yorkshiregrit site in recent months, probably because V8 in Yorkshire can mean anything from 7a to 7b+, so isn't really a very useful indicator of how easy/tricky you're likely to find a given problem (as we've all discussed about a million times on about a thousand other threads).

[dave]

basically most places now use font grades. especially the areas that count. i.e. the peak and wales (even if they're disguised as faux-V). not to mention the rest of europe, a continent of which we are part. why should yorkshire be different? If you want to continue being able to do a yorkshire V8 and not know whether its 7a+ or 7b+ then that seems odd to me.

you live in sheffield and need to ask this question.

To be fair  - and yes I advocate the use of Font grades (like you cared  ) - that's not because there is anything wrong with the grading system, it's because it's been misused. I could grade a Font7a, Font7b in much the same way, thus it's my fault not the system.
