Well I returned from the climbing wall to be told by my house mate that there was a copy of the New Gogarth North guide awaiting my collection in V12. Whilst I don’t really want to offer this as a review, mainly because I am very close to the group that authored this guide. Although I had very little to do with this guide other than accompanying a few of the route checkers on there expeditions. However I have removed myself from the bedroom accompanied only by the guide and feel that it is a suitable replacement for the old guide.
The guide is impressive, with loads of photo topos, new route info, and even new areas. Including some sport climbing venues. There is also a graded list that includes some of the routes from Holyhead Mountain. Although since the splitting of the guide, I am not sure whether to aim for the 100 graded list routes in either guide, or 100 routes combined with the Gogarth South when it comes out!
Another great guide from the Ground Up team.
