General Behaviour
Rock climbing has become ever more
popular, increasing numbers of people want
access to the cliffs and the pressures on the
crag environment have never been greater.
Complying with simple requests such as:
no fires, leave no litter, close gates after
you, park sensibly and avoid disturbing farm
animals should be obvious to everyone.
Access
The majority of crags in this book have been
climbed on for many years and we are lucky
to enjoy largely unrestricted access to them.
In a few cases there may be temporary
restrictions because of nesting birds, or high
fire risk. These are detailed in the text, and/or
should be indicated by signs on the approach
to the crags.
A contribution from the Rockfax web sales of

The BMC
Access arrangements can change and we
recommend that, when unsure, you use the
BMC Regional Access Database to check
what the current situation is. You can check
RAD here -
thebmc.co.uk/modules/RAD/
or install the BMC RAD app
from your iOS or Android app
store. If you do encounter
problems, contact the BMC
Access and Conservation
representative. They are always
happy to discuss problems,
and often their involvement at an early stage
can defuse a situation before it escalates into
a serious access dispute.

Parking
All the crags in this book have parking areas
which are indicated with GPS coordinates
and QR codes on the maps. Please use
these parking areas! If there is one thing
above all others that annoys landowners, it is
having their drive/field blocked by someone's
car. In some cases parking may involve you
spending some money in one of the Pay and
Display parking areas.
Dogs
All the moorland areas in this book are
grazed by sheep and as such make an
unsuitable destination for domestic dogs. If
you do take your best friend on a climbing
trip, please make sure it is tied up and on
good behaviour.
The ring ouzels have fledged - thank you.
