UKC

Anyone thinking of visiting Stonestar Crag should be aware that a bird restriction for peregrines is in place until the end of June.

This is not a new restriction, however there was a duplicate entry on the RAD (now corrected) showing unclear information and climbers have been reported as visiting recently. 

Updated entry - https://www.thebmc.co.uk/modules/rad/view.aspx?id=7778

Guving this a bump as I saw some climbers there on Sunday and was wondering about this, not very impressed as they must have literally stepped over the restriction sign to get to the crag!

Does this include the boulders too? Remember there being some confusion over this previously 

Did you try communicating with them?

Edit: don't know about the climbing, but Stonestar's probably one of the easiest places in the Lakes to watch Peregrines.

Alas I was a passenger driving past, a little hungover and taking some babysteps back in to climbing for the first time after a bad accident so not really in the mood for an argument, did look out for peregrines though!

The starred routes are great (when it's not banned)

Forgot about your accident, if you're out climbing - even if it's "babysteps", then it sounds like you're on the road to recovery.

Thanks, its somewhat of a shock to go from ambitions of onsighting E5 to stuggling to second a Diff, but also a reminder that climbing isn't just about numbers, trying hard and getting scared, spending time with old friends on sunny rock has snapped me out of a post injury malaise and given pause to reflect on some possibly unhealthy attitudes I had developed in my climbing.

Maybe I'll get back to Stonestar next year, peregrines permitting.

I checked this with LDNPA and yes the restriction covers the boulders. Will add this detail to the RAD entry.

Thanks for clearing up
