Rumour has it on the streets on Llanberis that the new guidebook to Gogarth (North) is on its way or its on its way to the printers at the very least. This long awaited guide has caused many controversies along the way including a rift between the Climbers Club and Ground Up Production. The CC believing they had the moralistic high ground and exclusive rights to publish a guidebook to Gogarth, fortunately Ground Up brushed aside much of the criticism aimed at them from the CC, and threw themselves at the seemingly endless task of producing a defintive guidebook.
The whole CC, Ground Up Gogarth debarcle even spurred the conception of the first of the North Wales Wiki site, which then lead onto sites for the Slate Quarries, Tremadog and Ormes Limestone. Fortunately that seems to be behind us and now what we have to look forward to is Ground Up productions first guidebook since amazing North Wales Rock. If you’d like to see a preview of the guide you can here.
Future project for Simon Panton and his ground up team are Slate and Gogarth (South) which should be enough to keep you going.
