Guidebook Amendment
Suggested amendments to the guidebook text are coloured red. If you spot any other updates, mail them in.
On the Photo on Page 141 the route numbers are mixed up.
i.e. 258 should be 257 and so on. Also, the hanging block has now fallen away so delete the three references to this.
Help is needed to slot these routes into the Graded List.
Have you any suggestions?
