Wednesday 24th March 2021. Yealand Storrs, Leighton Hall and Cringlebarrow Wood
Just a quick stroll taking advantage of blue sky and sunshine, but cold wind. Spring flowers now abundant. The main purpose of this post is to record a little crag I found in the woods which looked as though it might have seen a bit of bouldering action.

| A bit of nostalgia from the days of my youth - parked at Leighton Hall |
 |
| The rock looks fairly sound. The crag is bigger than it seems in the photo and looks to possibly have some chalk marks. There could be some savage moves on those overhanging cracks |

A perfect little stroll in the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteYou knew I would be hooked by the crag photo, it would be good to be on some warm limestone. I've worked out some moves from enlarging your photo.

ReplyDeleteBC - I knew you would rise to my bait. Nothing less than 6b so I'll come and hold the rope for you as and when.
ReplyDeleteI like the Austin A40 Somerset. You don't see many of them in such good nic.
ReplyDeleteAlan R - You are right. I think they were made from re-cycled Heinz bean tins or perhaps something even less substantial.
