    Guide book, Over the Moors, says it all- the finest crag in the Chew Valley for low to mid grade routes! It is high above the valley away from midges , and is south west facing.
    Park at Binn Green car park, just off the A635, between Greenfield and Holmfirth. Grid ref SE018044 . We plan to be there for 10am, if anyone wants to walk up together.
    Forecast is a little iffy for Sunday, so will think of an alternative should it be needed, and post again on Saturday evening if any change to venue. Cheers Linda

    Ok, so forecast is not good for the afternoon tomorrow, thunderstorms and showers likely it’s a fair walk in etc to exposed edge, so , we plan to go to Birchens for 10am, and hope to get some routes done there. This meet was rained off a month ago. See you there. Linda and David.

    Had a good time, at not the Dovestones Edge meet. Ended up at Birchens, watched big heavy rain showers just miss us.
    Did crouch under an overhang during a short sharp rain shower early on. All decided our own pop up cafe under Emma’s dilemma was very pleasant, and amazingly the rock dried in 20 minutes and so lots more routes were bagged.
    Excellent turnout, especially considering the forecast. The thunder and lightning echoed around, by mid afternoon, so we scuttled away , gear dry. The roads back were as bad as the one up to Tigne today, on Le Tour!
    Thanks to all for some fun and good routes. Linda.
