The Bleaklow Area Guide by Eric Byne 1971


This guide calls Hobson Moor - Hobson's Moor Quarry in the contents but Hobson Moor Quarry in the script. Dilema #1. Malc Baxter will know I'm sure - I'll leave it to the proffessionals!


I've been checking the Curbar script and its made my ears bleed in parts - is its such a higglydy pigglgy of a crag and what the teamsters have done is awesome - but mopping up is always a pain.


Pete Robbins has done a stirling job - but I have found & cleaned 2 boulders in the woods way below the bottom path. They have passed the Fiend test and really should be included. Or should they?

These are esoteric gems that I knew if I sniffed about I would find. Dilema #2 The next dilemma is Yarncliffe Quarry & which routes to focus on cleaning.



Fall Pipe, Zapple & the Cardinals slab are priorities - but what else? Dilema #3

Finally sticking grit holds on with glue that look like they will come off in the opening quarry? Dilema #4


The piccy is Mark on the classic arete at Curbar boulders - an erosion dilemma # 5 - but more of that later!
