Could be worse, especially since mi bitch is on a trip to Madchester on sunday so i can climb guilt-free all day! :lol: :bang: :lol:
-
Yeah, but I can't do Sunday :(
Maybe an early start Sat and just nip out to the Peak but I was hoping to get further afield, up to Earl or even somewhere like Lord's Seat - see the topos on yorkshiregrit.com (http://www.yorkshiregrit.com/topo.php?db=yg&id=lords)

It gets light at 7:08 am on Saturday, so you ought to get out at the crack of dawn (maybe having warmed up at home) and the conditions will be obscene - you'll stick to that grit like shit to a blanket!
-
Personally i think i will be tucked up in Bed at that time. Foundry after 4 methinks. the new board is good by the way.

....or even somewhere like Lord's Seat - see the topos on yorkshiregrit.com (http://www.yorkshiregrit.com/topo.php?db=yg&id=lords)
I must admit gaylord's seat does look pretty "rad" - looks like you could do a monster curcuit and tick most of the problems in a visit if you went mad for it. How long, roughly, would it take to get there from sheffside?
-
Bloody hours I reckon - not entirely sure of the location without my trusty guide to hand, but reckon there's a bit of a walkin too. Rock looks nice as well. Probably not as far as Slipstones, etc.
-
When I wer t'a lad, we wuz up there at 5 every Sat'dy morning, mind only when t' wethers shite coz sos' t' bouldering :wink:
15 mins walk in gently up hill. Tip from the top, go to Rylstone instead, no problems it says on the website, my arse no problems :P
-
yeah, I suspected there'd be a few good problems up there - wanna go up there and Crookstones....and Lords Seat, and that banned one - loads of stuff in Yorkshire to play with :D
-
Couldn't resist to start adding comments to the Brimham section, not that I know anything about the place or wrote the guide or anything. Bloody modern boulderers, chunter, chunter. :twisted:
-
There's some top stuff up on Lords Seat - some of the problems round the back might be a bit green, but the vast majority would be in good nick - the V2 dyno is basically genius.
Rylstone is ok, but most of the stuff is quite highball, and really feels like an old fashioned trad crag.
-
What's the walkin like to Lords Seat? Is it a boggy horror or not too bad?
-
Not too bad (but pretty fuckin' uphill for the first half!) - they've actually paved the boggiest sections with big flagstones (a bit like on top of Dovestones Tor in the peak). I wouldn't wear your favourite trainers though.......
-
Cheers for that - about how long are we talking in time terms??
-
A 'good' half an hour (about 3/4 hr if you're lazy like me) - the return would be rocking on a bike :D
-
Slipstones for me tomorow and may be Mr.Yorkshiregrit as well. :clap:
