Two conflicting reports! The forecast is good. Will see how it goes and can always retreat County-wards. Will look out for you on The Keswickian ;)

Fucking amazing. -1'c and sunny at midday. Light breeze easing off towards evening. Amount of usage indicates it should often come into nick I think.

Went to little font today and it was surprisingly bone dry, both the rock and underfoot, given all the rain we have had.
Good breeze to keep away any midges too.

Hello,
I'm up to the South Lakes (Windemere...) for a romantic weekend break with MrsTT sneaky bouldering opportunity Fri > Sunday and the forecast doesnt look too bad so far... \o/

I'll hazard a guess that most stuff is as wet as the rest of the UK has been recently.. but any thoughts on how the spots local(ish) to there will be (e.g. Kentmere, Langdale..)? I'd quite like to get up to Carrock again, but I think its probably too far away.. any other spots likely to be dryish (or fast drying) within striking distance of Windemere?

Cheers,
TT

I can confirm the weather is not good at the moment (I'm up in Keswick) but Kentmere could stay dryish, Little Font area etc. If all is sodden Kendal Wall will have to do! :-) If you do decide to head towards Carrock then let me know on here and I'll come visit if you like.

Just be aware that bits of Little Font can be sodden underfoot after rain.  Badger Rock may be an option.

Cheers Gents.. Badgers an option.. Though ticked most of it now.. Hopefully there won't be a bull in the field this time :) I'll dm you if I head up to Carrock, but its probably too far north.. Best see how amenable mrsTT is :)

Cheers for asking Golt, got to 1/2 wet Langdale on Friday.. Had a good session though pocket frustrated! (And hurt left forearm!) managed after good battle the slopey v4 arête around the corner over style...

Walked and explored on sat, but wall to wall drizzle and clag on Sunday..

Such is life!

Hey all.

Have potential lift to the lakes this weekend, though I just realised that I'd have no way of getting about whilst there...

What's the chances of Bowderstone being dry? The forecast running up to the weekend looks good and I'm guessing a tourist spot like Bowderstone is accessible by public transport?

Cheers!

Hello. The weather has been dump for the last few days. Not been up to the cobble lately but everywhere else has been pretty bad. You can grab the bus to the Bowderstone car park from outside Booths super market or try hitching a lift although its very quiet this time of year so bus would be preferable!

It has been a fantastic day today, the sky went a strange colour, a weird blue shade with an odd yellow circle hanging high :-) if i get chance to check up the valley tomorrow I'll do so.

Again, any info on the stone would be good. Looking more and more likely that I'll come up for the weekend if the weather stays good and the problems are dry. Never been there before but I like the look of Picnic Sarcastic SDS and others in that grade range.

Cheers!

Forecast looks fucking boss for Mosedale tomorrow, assuming the early morning mist burns off. The current plan is Carrock Tomorrow and the stone on Saturday. Maybe see some of you guys around :)

Currently very foggy with a hint of moisture in the air and its certainly dropped a fair few degrees. Should be primo conditions if the fog clears. I didn't get chance to actually make it to the Styan itself though, apologies. I'm working tomorrow but may get chance to sneak out Sunday so hopefully see some of you out and about.

Nice one on stone conditions Dan. The grit season doesn't exist on my 2013 calendar so will be making most trips to the cave or the lakes this year :)

P.s. is Ben's or Dave's beta the best for sidekick? Looks a bit techy... Quite fancy trying special cases first I think as it looks more thuggy!

Jordon- From what I gather from dan I think the majority of earthworm Jim is permo-dry! Tau zero drys super quick.

Hess dog- I think you will find the technical genius that i am actually worked out the beta Ben used :) haha! Nah Dave's beta kinda sucks unless you eat v14's for breakfast. You shouldnt struggle for height on the first big move! It's a fucking ace problem, get it done!

Pray tell, did crushing commence then? I've spent the daylight part of the day chopping trees down, no room for climbing unfortunately.
