Description

Day out with 10 teenagers from the QE darlington , good group and plenty of enthusiasm for the days activities.
no issues
set up both releasable abseil and climbs, all on the stakes at the top which are solid and plenty of them ( WATCH your shins on them in the long grass)

Area : Yorkshire Grit

Mostly those crags north of Leeds and the M62 in the Yorkshire Dales, but also the crags in the vicinity of Harrogate and Wetherby. The grit cracks in South Yorkshire close to the Peak District are covered in the Peak District Region, as are those just north of the Peak but south of the M62. Protect the Rock – let this be your mantra. John Dunne and Lucy Creamer cut their teeth here. Tradition is respected but cams and mats come in useful.
