I'm hoping to get out on Friday (fly back from Munchen on friday AM) but my timings a little contingent on when my flight gets in (think its 10 ish) and taking MrsTT to the garage to pick up her car in the afternoon...

Could possibly meet you for an hour or so but then might have to dash off etc...

Forecast dependent blah blah etc...

I'll have a pad in the car so might stop by for an hour if I can tomorrow morning or maybe on the way back depending on what time I can leave Aber. Will post here if possible

Thats an odd way to get to Aber Dolly! Thought of checking out the lime bouldering at Ruthin which is more en-route? (10-15 min walk in though..)

Good link :)
I tried coming that way once but the locals laughed at me taking the "scenic" route saying it was quicker to come down to Welshpool. Not sure it is though, maybe will try "the other way"

Harmers is open for business again. Popped in for a quick half hour before it went dark. Drying out nicely, poked a few molluscs out of the pockets. Top quarry a bit damper.

Was all good today - about 90% dry (odd damp streak). Should be fairly primo tomorrow...

Felt good conditions tbh, good dry wind and nice and clean.

Yes - all good. Though it could do with some rain as its a bit of a chalk fest at the moment.

Also - the Friends of Harmers wood have posted a couple of signs in the cloakroom quarry asking climbers not to use trees for rope anchors. They believe this may be harming the trees. I've only ever seen people using ropes twice at Harmers so don't think it is a common practice - and this is a bouldering not chuffing forum - but just letting you all know.

IMHO no point in having a UKC style 'they're mad - they're wrong' type debate about it - best just heed their request (as they are nice people) and most/all of the problems are paddable anyway....

Thank you boys though your replies came twenty mins too late as we are now at longridge playing on dampish rock. Incidentally Andy, my avatar is a picture of a mate who was at uni with you and in the climbing club. Matt guy, he was probably wearing the same stuff back then!

North Staffs Poly? I don't remember that name at all. But then again I can remember almost nothing from that long ago.
