THis is the definitive guide to all the rock climbs in the Lancashire area, detailing 3,200 routes from Diff to E8. Covering everything from the dark and mysteriously charming quarries in the south, where steep walls and foreboding atmospheres have long gained the routes a reputation for character and challenge, to the limestone crags in the north of the county, which provide a good contrast with their fresh, open steepness.
With easy access from the great population centres of North West England, these outcrops are a great resource, giving a vast supply of routes of many styles and in a variety of settings. For the committed local, or the occasional visiter, theis guide will lead you through the miriad of unique experiences that Lancashire climbing has to offer.
This current volume is essentially a re-print of the 1999 edition of Lancashire Rock - known fondly as 'The Brick' - with a few minor changes. The Whitbarrow and Furness areas have now been taken under the more logical wing of the FRCC for their Lakeland guides, and the Standedge area will appear in the forthcomming BMC Moorland Grit guide. These changes have allowed a smaller and more compact guide to be produced.
