In reply to Christheclimber: I think that there is a contradiction between the dates for closure of Bamford currently (as of 2/6/11) displayed on the BMC RAD pages (
http://www.thebmc.co.uk/bmccrag/ViewCrag.aspx?id=344) and the ones on notice at the parking spot for the crag and elsewhere on the BMC website (
http://www.thebmc.co.uk/News.aspx?id=4287).
These are the dates that Bamford is supposed to be closed according to the BMC RAD (as of 2/6/11):
15 May to 28 May
1 June to 4 June
7 June to 11 June
14 June to 18 June
Note that this suggests that Bamford is closed on Sat 4th, 11th and 18th June but open on Monday 6th and 13th June. However, I suspect these dates on the RAD are incorrect. Last year's dates?
Can someone at the BMC check this?
Additionally, the sign posted at the parking for Bamford is potentially confusing since it says that PROW's are exlcuded from the closure and many visitors may incorrectly believe that the obvious path up to the crag is a PROW. It might be worth adding a note to the sign to clarify this.
