In reply to paul mitchell:
We have no right to be there?Let's all doff our caps.
There was plenty of chalk on Newstones on other problems.The offwidth prob is on the far end of Ramshaw where few walkers go.
I no longer use a brush ,in general,but use a rag for cleaning.
These were new probs and not old ones.I guess some of you puppies don't know the difference that makes to one's ego.
What does a landowner find more annoying, teams of boulderers marching across the moor with their mats,or a bit of chalk that washes off?
Having said that,will clean some chalk off in future,sometimes.Now you holy sages can rest a bit easier.Must be a new route name in here somewhere.....
