Western Grit
The guide that finish the job that Peak Gritstone East started, by cataloguing the fine array of gritstone cliffs on the western side of the Pennines. It has 306 pages, over 2000 routes, 60+ full-colour action photographs and covers over 30 fine cliffs. If you suffer from the age old problem of being unable where to decide where to go next time the sun shines - this might just help.
The new guide covers an amazing variety of gritstone cliffs from the high, neglected edges of Kinder and Bleaklow, through to the honey pots of the Roaches and Hen Cloud, and even includes the sandstone cliffs of Merseyside and Cheshire. Added to this are the delights of Lancashire, whose quarries are home to a fine set of routes that see far less attention than their counterparts on the other side of the hills. A new set of photo-topos has been produced for every cliff and such venues as Hobson Moor Quarry, Wingather and Castle Naze have been given the coverage that they deserve. Many of the cliffs in this area have long played second fiddle to their more illustrious eastern brethren, now they are given a position centre stage.
Feedback suggests that the guide has made neglected venues popular again, the grass is being held at bay and many cliffs are getting more visits than they have had in years.
