Winter warmers

It's a funny time on the moors. The light can change rapidly, and the peat sometimes absorbs what little brightness there is. They can be foreboding places to be if you chose your time wrongly, but almost surreal if you get it right. This winter, we'll be out bouldering in some of the most unfrequented, but wonderful places you will find in the Peak. There's no online topo, no chalk marks and no bits of old rag. The gardens that we will visit are known to some, but unheard of by many. Ironbower, anyone? Maybe Bull Stones Hollow? Coldharbour Naze, perhaps...but only if you're prepared to put some effort in. This is Mr. Adam Cropper, somewhere on the high moors last spring.
