The bird ban on the Llandudno limestone crags has passed (15th August) and crags such as the magnificent Diamond on Little Orme are now open for business.
Last year a high water access route from Upper Craig y Don was established by Pete Harrison. Pete also produced an excellent set of topos on the North Wales Limestone wiki.
Staying with the ‘birdy’ sea cliff theme, the bird bans at Gogarth finished on 1st August – a date traditionally known as the ‘glorious first’. Feedback on route descriptions on any of the bird banned cliffs (e.g. Mousetrap Zawn, Red Walls etc) should be sent into the info address on the Ground Up site. Production of the Gogarth South guide will step up a gear very shortly when the Llanberis Slate guide goes to print.
