The original grand hotel boulder in the Plantation in Stanage. It thus named as the cave under it was considered a particularly good bivi site. Its the boulder with 'Not to be taken away' on it. Apparently the name of that problem is a that Not to be taken away' used to be written on ashtrays and the like in to holels. This is funny cause the boulder is huge and it would be very difficult to remove it.
ReplyDeleteHaving said all this I don't think the name Grand Hotel really is apt for the boulder in Lough Bray - it doesn't stand up to any scrutiny and seems to be just a direct copycat. Blame Kev Cooper.
Try away from the??
