Big Guns at Malham
Some big guns were out at Malham over the bank holiday though
as it turned out the weather was a major player as well. Ordinarily
you’d expect premier crags like Malham to be rammed with folks
from one end of a Bank Holiday to the other – especially given
the hit the pound has taken recently against the Euro. Truth was
though that Malham was nearly totally empty on the Saturday – save
for a few regulars and some big guns. Read more

It ain’t over till it’s over…
Rachael Crewe, the spandex-loving 22 year-old graduate ex-Nottingham
Uni. who won the top prize in the ‘Be in my calendar competition’
