Instead of the glorious sun kissed rock magnificently displayed on page after page of this excellent guide I was greeted by heavy showers this evening, disappointed.

Sounds like your day was a 'dud one'

At least the pub is decent.

Less so in the rain under current restrictions.

Sorry about that, but you are in the English Lake District, only about 12 miles from the wettest place in England (Seathwaite). Those famous Lakes have never been known to dry up.

Have you ever paused to consider how long it takes to get those photos? Why do you think guidebooks take so long to produce? 😉

Not sure if a refund is available on that basis...

Well that's the risk you run if you buy the unrealistically enhanced LDNP-approved version.  Didn't you see the Duddon & Furness MRT-approved version with the laminated pages and built-in avalanche transceiver? 

Did you also notice the bizarre Wallowbarrow upgrades?

Good to see so many "esoteric" crags documented. Feels like a long-term project by some keen "activists"! Looking forward to seeing the same for Eskdale and Birker Fell.
