Title: Replacement Northern limestone guidebook?
Post by: Luthor on January 09, 2011, 04:09:38 pm: Does anyone have any info on the new edition/s of the northern limestone guidebook?

I've posted a wanted ad for the old guide - but see rockfax are saying new edition will be out 'early 2011'

Good news, but why such a long time until the update? Shirely it won't take 2 years to check the new route info for those two crags? :-\ :shrug:

Don't worry Andy, when that guide comes out your hardest redpoint will be 7c+.

Post by: Alan James, Rockfax on January 26, 2011, 05:16:30 pm: I expect we will be able to get Yorkshire and Cumbria Limestone out for the summer of 2012.

Peak Limestone is scheduled for this summer, then we have a new Dorset guide, Costa Blanca and possibly a Peak Bouldering to fit in first.

I thought Mark was being a little cautious on the dates!

I fully understand knocking down all of Yorkshire half a grade to come into line with Kalymnos, but to knock everything by 1 1/2 grades is a bit harsh.

to help the Yorkshire tourist industry? It'll be the new Euro destination of choice with grades that soft. Give it long enough, Chris Craggs might take up residence too.
