Review
Includes "great" (or not) sites like Markfield Quarry and the
infamous Slawston Bridge. Indexed with some photos. Some of it is a bit out of date as many of the crags are quarries and so some have been
either knocked down or filled in.
While the guidebook itself is out of print it's contents have been reproduced with permission of the original authors at http://www.leicesterclimbs.f9.co.uk/ and can be freely printed out.
