In reply to climber34neil:
> (In reply to Ramblin dave) to be fair "a bit of bolted climbing" is a rather misleading statement, there is a wealth of sport climbing with a rich history in the Peak District which has been at the forefront of standards for any years , just look at routes like the prow, revelations , Mecca, Hubble, mutation at raven tor, zeke, caviar, dangerous brothers at rubicon to name but a few. In addition to fantastic venues of millers dale, cheedale and water cum jolly which have enough sport routes to keep anyone occupied for a lifetime and also with a quality that as good as anywhere in the uk in terms of the climbing, there are extensive venues spread all across the peak, both natural crags and quarries. The latest peak limestone guide is packed full of quality sport routes, so you could conceivably just have a rack of clips and have a great time if sport climbing is your thing, but combine it with grit routes and bouldering and you will soon be moving north from Milton Keynes and dtaying for much longer than 2 years.
Very grade dependent though, isn't it? Below 7 everything without exception is worthless, the low 7s I've done in Cheedale were all mediocre at best, but on the other hand people do seem to get excited by the hard routes.
