The obvious green crag seen lurking in the woods near the village of the same name as you hotfoot it back down the A5 to the home counties after a glorious weekend cragging in Snowdonia (it is in England, but only just), the one that makes you wonder whether anyone has bothered climbing there.... Little do you know that it is "a crag of national importance with lines to rival any", well, according to this new guide at least!
A work of a great enthusiast for his local outcrop; in fact Nick Dixon (who also wrote the latest and much acclaimed CC Cloggy guide). Loads of colour photo topos to the climbs and extensive bouldering plus many colour photos (and actually it's not green at all!).
