In reply to Chris Craggs:
Last saw Dave at Lawencefield about 10 years. Midweek, and he was with a group of friends. When I referred to Limpopo Groove as 'Gregorys's Great, Green, Grotty, Gruesome, Grey, Greasy Groove ' one of his team politely informed me that I shouldn't have said that as Dave was present. Big mistake, Dave thought it was hilarious and told them to read the guidebook description.
I had known Dave for quite a lot of years through the BMC Peak Meetings and also bumping into him climbing on the Gritstone Edges so had no qualms about describing that climb, in his presence, in those terms. Knew he would enjoy it.
