With a clear but cold (ish!) forecast, a bit of valley cragging in the sun seemed in order. Bowderstone Crag, hidden in the trees up the hill from the famous boulder, was a perfect choice being south west facing and quick drying following the overnight rain.
Under cover of darkness and flying low to avoid Paul's radar, Terry and Vikki sneaked a visit to Stanage...
