On a crystal ball, speculation tip whould anyone care to hazzard a guess as to when Make It Funky will be in condition? Obviously a slightly bizzare request but as a trip to the Tor now requires the booking of flights arranging it a decent time in advance makes economic sense. I promise not to hold any grudges should predictions prove unreliable and would welcome any considered opinions...

MIF can stay quite wet at the start. Direct start is drier.
Sometime between April and never?

Thank you. As well as being drier is the direct start harder/easier/the same?

For the tall I don't think it's much different, not sure about for the short though.. might be worth PMing Stu to ask if he's been on the direct

six or two threes. Direct is a bit more powerful and basic but you get to the main event so much quicker. As for dryness is is quite slow. People would be climbing on the main parts of the Cornice when it's fully dry.

No idea but getting to it by road might be interesting at the moment, just dumped 5" of snow.

Fair point. I've just bought some snow socks for the van though. Sick of getting rescued by farmers!!

At the moment it's stopped but meant to start again, lots of roads shut but ploughs just been through Stoney. I have driven a lot in snow and this stuff seems a nightmare,quite wet so forms perfect skiddy layer as soon as it compacted

That's an amazing turn around, it was wet as a trout on Saturday. Must've been a good breeze coming through
