anyone got a link to the map that used to be on lakesbloc showing all the bouldering areas?

cheers

I'm changing the way it's laid out to a similar method to that on Yorkshiregrit.com (although not quite as slick  ) Eventually all the crags will look like this...

http://www.lakesbloc.co.uk/16.html

So far I've done quite a few of the main crags: Bowderstone, Kentmere, Woodwell, Thorn, Trowbarrow and few smaller areas. Next up I'll do Carrock and St.Bees. Unfortunately I'm limited by time.

I've also updated the Langstrath guide - http://www.lakesbloc.co.uk/35.html (Kentmere topo is next on the to-do list).

cheers greg,

dont suppose you'll have an overview map anymore then?

i found it quite handy - for example I'll be up on Fairfield at the weekend and it'd be good to see at a glance if theres any bouldering to detour to, other than the dove crag danger highballs

[Greg C]

What like this one...

Ask and you shall receive... no kinky stuff!

(So much for a lunch break)

[Greg C]

When I get time I'll edit the descriptions (i.e. when you click the balloons) on the overview map so they offer a mark out of five regarding the quality/extensiveness of the crag.

[andyh]

thats awesome,

quick work, cheers 

[Greg C]

I have added a number of crags that were not on the old list/map. A wad point for anyone who can find the location of the "Birkett's Outdoor Gym"...

good work keeping the site up and going Greg.
Any plans to do a lakes bouldering guidebook?

[Monolith]

Please do one.

Only if Dave Buchanan promises NOT to fight my corner if it's crap. 

Seriously though, I'd love to do one (I do actually have number of sections completed), but I realize now that to do it at my pace and how I'd want I would have to produce it entirely under my own steam. Currently however I'm not in a position where I could afford to finance A) a new computer B) all the required software and C) the publication costs, and I'm certainly not getting a loan to produce an esoteric bouldering guide.

Mind you if I do get round to doing a guide I'll be sure to get the "Deep Thought" computer featured in The Hitchhikers Guide to proofread it.

For anyone who cares, the new Kentmere guide I promised above - http://www.lakesbloc.co.uk/sei/s/1284/f55.pdf

Nice one Greg, as ever.  Looks good

Nice work - when do these blocs come into condition Greg? Would I get away with a visit at this time of year? I reckon you really should produce a guidebook - the quality work you've done already just needs icing to make a fine cake!

[Greg C]

In my view this is the best time of the year - cold conditions, no bracken, good ventilation to the blocks. It does, however, help if it has been dry for a couple of days before your visit.

Have you checked out "Shap", not quite shit and not quite crap!!!, who bolted the Arete!!!

[Zods Beard]

Keep up the good work fella, some of the topo's are quality, really keen to get to Carrock fell, looks great.
