The normal access to Hoghton has been suspended, we hope temporarily, as a result of a recent visit by two climbers. Les Ainsworth is on the case. For the moment please do not attempt to visit Hoghton. We'll post updates as things clarify. If you were one of the climbers please don't post public comments here, but message us at BMC NW Area via FB, or message me via UKC.
Thanks.
Paul Evans, BMC NW Area Secretary.
