Alright Tom, not quite sure where Dewsbury is1 But... you can get the train out to Ilkley, and near Almscliff (to within half an hours walk), and there are buses that run out to Caley. Forget everywhere else just go to Caley, it truly is the business!

If you come up our way, give me or Adam a ring would be happy to give you the tour, be good to see if you can still hack i8t on the grit, you've been in Wales far too long! So long as you promise not to piss all over me on my home patch like in the BUSA!  :wink:

I don't know from dewsbury, but I would have thought there would be a pretty regular bus service inbetween Colne/Burnley and Harrogate/Skipton which stops at Cowling, then Earl is just a walk up
the hill.

Get a bus to Leeds then.

Almscliff (not armscliff) is the no 36 to harrogate, get off at huby and walk the last mile or two.

Caley, get the bus to Otley, get off as the bus drops down the chevin.

Ilkley, get the train from leeds, walk the last mile or two.

Brimham, stay on the 36 to Harrogate, change onto the Pateley bus get off at Summerbridge, long up hill walk to Brimham.

Earl, no fucking chance!

There is not a bus Harrogate to Skipton, unbelievable!
Bus to Grassington via Patley then onto Skipton. OR Bus to otley then onto skipton via Ilkley.

Word tom- it's Adam by the way.  I think best way will be to get a bus into leeds and then a bus or train from leeds to ilkley or caley.  Just call me when you're thinking about coming up and me and laurie will take you on the tour while you dick on us :oops:  You should piss most of stick it ticks and like laurie said- caley is the bomb :D

cheers for the info guys, though i wouldn't expect too much have quit bouldering in favour of routes for the last few weeks so i'm probably getting weaker by the minute. Did flashdance in the slate quarries on tuesday for my first E5 tick so feeling suitable smug.
catch ya later

i don't about coming over at the end of april cos my exams start then, and i'll be forced to come out climbing instead of revising, but i'm staying here over the summer so could easily sort something out then
