Hi Jon. Yes, like you we only used to go there July to September, as it was my one foreign holiday a year, so how times have changed. Fantastic times, gratis camping at the football field and football and Chez Morel in the evenings. The first time we went there in ‘79, rained off in Cham. Livesey convinced us to visit. A Peak team and Ron and Chris Gibb used to go nearly every night to Escales to rescue a frequently benighted Irish team and top rope them off. Probably my most enjoyable ever rock climbing holiday, as everything to us was so new and the gorge so beautiful.
