This is a workbook which can be used in a group or one to one
setting with a facilitator who can assist those studying it to
explore each unit and question so that it becomes an individuals
guide to what works for them to get and then keep them well. A good
hint is to fill the book out in pencil as time and circumstances
and diagnosis change and what might work now might not work next
year or in five years time.
Peak District Gritstone is a comprehensive guide to traditional
gritstone climbing and covers the whole of the national park.
Written by local climber Graham Hoey, it features over 2,000
carefully selected trad routes graded from Mod to E10. Graham has
been an active grit climber for nearly 50 years. He was a member of
the British Mountaineering Council's guidebook committee for 20
years and since 1979 has been a major contributor to the iconic
Peak District climbing guidebook series. Over his grit career and
during the course of his research for this guidebook he has climbed
95% of the routes in this book (many more than once!) and has
checked the rest closely. No other guidebook author has climbed as
extensively on Peak District gritstone; his passion for the genre,
knowledge of the routes and his attention to detail are evident
throughout the text. This guide is split into three sections:
Eastern Gritstone - extending from Wharncliffe Crags down to Black
Rocks; Staffordshire Gritstone- including The Roaches; and Moorland
Gritstone- from the Chew Valley to Kinder. Alongside nationally
significant crags such as Stanage and The Roaches, there are
smaller and equally brilliant venues with their own unique
features, such as the wild moorland edges of Wimberry and
Ravenstones, or the urban quarried grit at New Mills Torrs. Each
crag features detailed access and approach information, including
GPS coordinates for parking and crag grid references, together with
conditions information and local knowledge. Alongside superb action
photography from Mike Hutton, Adam Long, Keith Sharples and more,
there are over 400 colour photo topos, plus overview and topo maps.
A detailed introduction includes everything you need to plan a
visit: tourist information centres, cafes and pubs, campsites and
accommodation, gear shops, climbing walls and useful websites.
Peak Rock is a celebration of significant developments at the
cutting edge of rock climbing in the Peak District, from the day
that James W Puttrell first set foot on rock at Wharncliffe in the
late nineteenth century, through to modern day ascents on the
area's gritstone and limestone crags. Meticulously researched and
written by a team of local authors, this is the story of the sharp
end of Peak District climbing as told through the words of many of
the Peak's - and the world's - top climbers, including: James W
Puttrell, Jack Longland, Joe Brown, Don Whillans, Ed Drummond, Tom
Proctor, John Allen, Ron Fawcett, Andy Pollitt, Jerry Moffatt,
Johnny Dawes, Ben Moon, Miles Gibson, Pete Whittaker, Steve
McClure, Ryan Pasquill and many more. The late Giles Barker first
started work on Peak Rock - then titled Peak Performance - in the
early 1980s, before progress was halted by his premature death in
1992. It was almost twenty years before Phil Kelly picked up where
Giles left off, pulling together Giles' original research and
interviews, which were stored at the Mountain Heritage Trust. Phil
enlisted Graham Hoey to work on the book, updating the manuscript
with their own interview material and other primary source
information, writing a number of missing chapters and also adding a
number of chapters, including the significant developments of the
1980s, 1990s and 2000s. Phil and Graham brought in a team of
experienced Peak District climbers drawing on their knowledge of
specific developments - trad climbing, sport climbing, bouldering,
gritstone, limestone - and worked with them to develop individual
chapters. This resulting book on the history of Peak District
climbing is the most comprehensive to be published since Eric Byne
and Geoff Sutton's High Peak in 1966.

When twenty-something James Valentine pays an unscheduled visit to
a fortune teller in Whitby, he is told that he's going to meet
three women that will influence his life in ways that he could
never imagine! It's the fabulously funny story of a struggling
magician trying to find true love somewhere amongst the gay bars,
working men's clubs and cake shops of a West Yorkshire town. A
fruit cake, an International drugs dealer and the Heimlich
Manoeuvre play pivotal roles in this tale of romantic failure set
during the 80's in the un-glamourous locale of Huddersfield.
