With foot-and-mouth cases down to 0, access is opening up everywhere. Froggatt and Curbar will be open this weekend in the Peak; many more access restrictions should also be lifted. (Do enquire locally though.) However, the Burbage valley is still closed - apparently the farmer who owns the area was spooked by the sight of the eager hordes who ascended to Stanage last weekend. But Derbyshire CC is opening every footpath as of midnight Friday 25th. It's going to be a cragging Bank Hol - enjoy!
Well seeing as I didn't have the answer to Adam's quiz then I guess I wouldn't have been able to answer this one. Thanks for putting my mind to rest so quickly!
Amazon are accepting orders for it, which is a bit cheeky. They don't take the money till they dispatch though. Two weekends ago Jim Perrin said it was coming out in November this year. He also read out a brief excerpt - if it's all to the standard of the excerpt it will be well worth the wait.
I just don't see Don wearing snowgoggles on a route at Widdop, or twin ropes and a cag like that. It also looks like granite to me. Definitely in the alps.
