Free downloadable supplements for Northumberland guides

[jdal]

We (The NMC) are in the process of producing free downloadable PDF supplements for the two definitive Northumberland guides covering new stuff since publication. We are using issuu.com to host these, they are on a stack here: http://issuu.com/thenmc/stacks/f8ff12f0f58442aaa390d0fff4192397 (can't see how to do links properly in this forum)

This is a rolling program, so it may be worth your while subscribing to the stack if you're interested. Everything is currently bouldering and most of the stuff thereafter will be as well, although there are some tasty new "routeing" crags (like Si Lichfields stuff on Bizzle)

Looks great!

Cheers.

Yeah, I should've said all feedback welcome. You'll have Mr Blake to contend with though, I'm just the messenger. Steve's the new NMC Guidebook editor.

These are great. The online club magazines are pretty good too, there goes my afternoon!

Wad point to you to pass on the Steve.

Another venue added to the list of free topos - Caller Crag, in 2 sections.

It does contain a plea for photos, currently these are, of necessity, a bit of a family album with a few Mark Savage + Dan Varian contributions. Also, there are a couple of missing grades where Bob S won't own up.

Do you know why the Caller Crag pdfs aren't downloadable (as far as I can tell), but the others are?

Good work!

 

[andi_e]

I too have an issue with issuu. Are they downloadable as separate pdfs anywhere?

 

[jdal]

Not downloadable eh. Guess I ballsed up. Give it a try now.

 

[bendavison]

All working now, cheers. :thumbsup:

Do you know what (if) other areas are in the works?

Andy_e - to download them click on share.

Looks great, have used the Blakey's guide and have The Stell guide sat on the coffee table at home waiting for a good day.

Have bumbled about at Caller in the past so it'll be good to have a guide.

Ben - The areas are in the preamble to each guide. The Stell, Whiteheugh, Raven’s Crag, Caller Crag, Corby’s and Edlingham, Greensheen Hill, Parkside Wood,The Maiden Chambers Area, St Cuthbert’s Cave, The Bowden Area,The Wanneys Group, Beanley Moor and Hunterheugh, Blakey’s Block, Cockenheugh, Kyloe Out Rothley,The Ravensheugh Area, Banno Crags, Titlington and the Turban, South Yardhope, Brady’s Crag, Coquet View, Shitlington, Lookwide, Howlerhirst, High Crag, Black Crag

There are also a couple of Si Lichfields guides (Aid/Little Wanney, Tosson, Fox Holes, Bizzle (not bouldering!)

And at least one stonking crag is being looked at by a few bods. Must keep mum though.

"In the works" is a bit grand though. Steve's beavering away, but for some reason he keeps disappearing to go climbing.

 

[bendavison]

Nice! Good to see South Yardhope in there. I can think of a couple areas that stonking crag could be... Hopefully this will encourage people to check out the 'other' County.

From what I've heard, Shitlington is anything but!

 

[lemony]

From what I've heard, Shitlington is anything but!

It certainly looks good, I think that quite a chunk of it is banned/private property though.

 

[jdal]

Just spoken to Blakey and Shitlington is almost done. It's one of the best crags in the county for bouldering, and would be clear winner if we could access the eastern end.

OT - Why can't I put smileys in? Or quote other posts?

 

[andi_e]

Shit the bedlington. Plus the Battlesteads in Wark is a great post-climb boozer too.

Or quote other posts?

You should be able to?

Quote function on right?

ff: Doesn't work in Edge. Probably why it's blisteringly fast, it doesn't actually do anything
