Everything I looked at today, odd bit of ice on top of the odd thing but all the usual suspects (virgin, keel, underhand, DWR, Syretts) were dry as far as I saw.

Otley forecast would suggest it's either getting rained on or snowed on!

I'm up in skipton today having some snowy running fun! Back on the almscliff hype next weekend!

The roads around caley were pretty wet yesterday evening but the cliff looked like a shining beacon of psyche and promise!

The roads were well icy towards Almscliff tonight so be careful if you're going up there...managed to get my car into a ditch and had to wait nearly 5 hours to get pulled out. Didn't even make it to the crag, shit times.

Shit....... you have my sympathies - any physical harm done?  It happened to me a few years ago in the middle of the Yorkshire moors.  The road turned right.... my car didn't,  and ended up stuck in a ditch-hedge combo.  AA said they couldn't get a recovery vehicle until the next day (it was one of those freak periods where people in the South were getting benighted in droves).  I ended up walking to the nearest village and begging a farmer to drag my car out!  Continued to my site visit and then spent a hellish afternoon digging through the rubble of a collapsed house looking for a fusebox at -11C!

As I recall, I found the fusebox, got it to the lab, and was about to get scrutinizing when the client contacted me to say that the Insurer had now realised that they didn't cover the property after-all (both the landlord and tenant had mistakenly bought buildings cover).  So, I was told to chuck the hard-won fusebox in the bin!

No real harm done thanks, just a few dents here and there. My car seems fine to drive. My crash doesn't seem half as bad now after hearing yours, jeeez. I actually did go to the farm at the bottom of Almscliff but there was no sign of life. I called my friend with his 4x4 but we tried everything and that wouldn't pull me out, then called MPw but I didn't have any money or a card so they wouldn't do it, so then I had to get a lift home, get some money, get a lift back and wait for them to come and get me.  Just gutted that I didn't get to go climbing really!

Is all peachy at the cliff of righteous justiceness and eternal godliness? I'm assuming it probably is given the run of dry and cold days, but just wanted to check prior to a possible mid week foray...

The roads at Cayley were wet last night but the roadside stuff looked dry as I drove past at a crawl. So the cliff is probably holding up fine.
