Yesterday's Stanage Forum was constructive, informative and not in the least acrimonious. Climbers received a lot of praise for the way they observed and in many cases, helped to enforce the voluntary bans while Ring Ouzel were nesting around the Trinity area. One of the comments was that, "It seemed as though climbers took the birds on as their responsibility." The importance of this should not be underestimated. Let's continue to observe the bans, encourage others to do so and treat Stanage with the respect it deserves.

Parking was also on the agenda. Honesty Boxes are soon to be installed at both Burbage Bridge and Stanage Popular End. Please put your loose change in these.
