Carrock was pretty damp! Did some problems on damp grips with scary wet top outs and lots of scrambling about on sketchy wet rock. Hoping it picks up tomorrow for a stone visit!

All the hallmarks of a regular days bouldering in the Lakes in January! Sorry to hear it has been a bit of a wasted day, fingers crossed for better conditions tomorrow.

[Richie Crouch]

The stone was largely dry apart from a few finishing holds on the operas and picnic direct yesterday. Felt a bit greasy/damp on the lip on special cases but it was more likely my butter hands. Hopefully it stays dry for a while yet!

[chris20]

Any word on conditions around Keswick apart from the stone would be appreciated.  I'm heading up on Tuesday for a few days.

Cheers

Was at the Stone Sat/Sun. Ladder side stuff was dry apart from the high holds Richie mentioned. In General Kesick was damp today with light snow turning to rain.

Back in Gloucestershire now though so will be of no further help unfortunately!

anyone know if there is much snow in ye old Borrowdale valley?

[Mike Tyson]

Not a great deal at the moment, but the forecast is looking white I'm afraid!

[Nike Air]

thanks

[Mike Tyson]

..... The weather folks have got it slightly wrong at present. It hasn't started snowing properly but it could be on its way. Its dam cold but dry and snow free at present*

*No guarantee is offered here!

[Nike Air]

Yea pretty much snow free. Had a good sesh, trying to defrost my toes now tho!

[Beegsyboy]

Anyone been to the Stone today? Thinking of heading tomorrow as forecast is sunny and cold in Keswick.
Cheers

Heading up Ambleside way Saturday for a long weekend with the wife. What are the chances of the Eskdale Granite being in nick? Failing that, Langdale or Chapel Stile?

Cheers in advance...

[Mike Tyson]

Lots of snow up around Keswick. I saw a photo of Bowness on someones Farcebook this morning and they look like they have heaps as well. I think rain could be due by the weekend (Sorry Fatneck!) but who knows.

[fatneck]

Cheers Golt, yeah looks pretty grim but it's hardly your fault! Looks like there'll be some wet walking and plenty of time spent in the Spa and pub

Did you go in the end? How was it?

[Beegsyboy]

Nah didn't bother, driving from Edinburgh so seemed like too much of a gamble.

[Fiend]

Bit dark at the mo...

Will check in daytime, cheers.

[Nike Air]

haha, try clicking on recent images. Good for indication of what level the snow has settled.

Dragging this up from the depths (is there a more popular lakes based thread/site for this kind of thing)

Whats in nick up the lakes (chuffing wise).  Pavey Ark? Esk? Dow?   Every time I've been to Pavey.. its be sopping.  Is it all dry at the moment (not withstanding possible rain on Friday?)

Got a rare 4 day pass out for a tradding trip  and it seems like the Lakes is going to get the best of any weather over the weekend.

Cheers in advance.

I was at Gimmer last weekend (really) and it was bone dry.
Walked up to the top of the crag/mountain afterwards which is on the way to Pavey and all the paths were dry so I would guess that would be good too.

[georgenorth]

Just got back from Gimmer now. It's been a bit drizzly and damp in the Lakes for the last couple of days, but generally dry recently so there's not much seepage or run-off at the moment. All of the crags you mentioned should be fine at the weekend as long as it's not raining at the time.

[ctodd]

Anyone been to neckband this week/recently? dry for the coming sat?

[mark20]

Scafell was very dry at the weekend, even the 'usually damp bits' were just 'a bit greasy' according to a local. I don't know how a bit of rain tomorrow will affect things though
