Review
Brand new full cover guide featuring photo topos and lots of inspiring pictures. Covers some major Lakeland crags including Raven Crags Threshthwaite and Thirlmere (plus at least another 5 you might not have heard of), Castle Rock and Dove Crag, plus a whole host of major to esoteric crags. Includes a really useful tabulated crag guide including aspect, seasonal restrictions and drying time as well as the more usual grade spread.
