In reply to Stuart Brooks:
This may or may not be relevant but I spoke to the new landowner about 3 weeks ago. He was friendly and said he didn't mind climbers (as they cleaned up litter and kept unruly kids at bay) however he had issues with dogs bothering his livestock and had had some arguments with rude dog owing climbers. He also said his lawyers had advised him he shouldn't allow access but currently didnt seem that bothered. I whent last week and saw the signs and presumed he was just stamping his ownership on the previously well used access/addressing perceived liability issues.
Hope this gets sorted quickly as it's one of the best bouldering venues in the peak/Midlands IMHO.
