Widdop

A fine set of rounded buttresses looking out over the Widdop Reservoir and the high and wild moors of the bandit country on the Yorkshire/Lancashire border. Although Widdop is well known for its bouldering, the routes tend to be off the regular circuit, but call in on a fine warm afternoon and a good time is pretty much assured with quality routes from VDiff to E9.
Conditions
The crag faces due north and, set at an altitude of 350m, it is best enjoyed as a high summer venue. Sadly the crag is often a lurid green colour even in the summer so visits are best made after a good dry spell. Fortunately the rock is often in rather better condition than its appearance might suggest so it is always worth a closer look. It will catch any wind that is going, especially a cold one from the north.
