 ;D excellent work Bonjoy, excellent work! ;D

Back on the original subject matter: the cave was in pristine condition today (eg. LF was completely dry). I was going to give you a call Houdini, but I was running late. Next time I'll come and collect you from Cwm (of course I'll pretend that we're going somewhere else.)

OK OK.  But only if it stops you posting ghastly pictures of me for Lovejoy to bastardize...

Sounds like a reasonable deal to me, and to sweeten it even further I'll promise to bring a flask of tea (and I won't play any Pavement cds in the car on the way :whistle:).

That's fine by me.  You bring the tea, I'll bring some absinthe so I can get twatted while you lot grunt and sweat up some of these manly macho willy waves fine lines... 

And my blinkers.   Can't forget my blinkers in the Cave.  Oh, I've been in touch with Malkmus, he's keen...

Doylo's right, ain't no eliminates in the cave, just pure, pure lines, blah, blah blah... sorry getting carried away again, I guess I don't need to sell it any further now that you've agreed to cross the line.

Not surprised Malkmus was up for it, he's a renowned Anglophile, some might say he's even built a career out of impersonating one of our finest misanthropic Manc bastards (that'll be Mark E Smith, not Dense).

I suppose it's a bit late to be posting this, but the cave was dry with the odd bit of seepage coming through on Saturday afternoon. Side pull on LF was damp (but still useable after a bit of chalking), CB finish was wet and there was one wet hold on LW high. Bellpig was dry though.

I was there on Sunday and the left side of the cave was bone dry, but there were some annoying drainage streaks affecting most of the problems on the right side: Trigger Cut and Clever Beaver were dry, but not much else.

Pill Box Wall was all dry save for one intermediate sidepull on Chocolate Wall. Manor crag is always worth a look if conditions are bad, not the best crag on the Ormes (actually there are some cool problems) but I've seen it dry when everywhere else is dripping.

If I go before the weekend I'll post a report.

Simon your getting your beavers mixed up, clever beaver was wet, beaver cleaver was dry. I was there yesterday and its getting quite wet now, all depends what you want to try. Pil Box is always a good bet on a dry day but i wouldn't drive from yorkshire just for that (well thinking about it i probably would but i'm sad).

You know what, you're right about the Beavers.  :oops:

I must be going senile; wait til you get to my age. It's hard enough remembering where I live and how many kids I've got, never mind the names of all these boulder problems.

Anyway, the good news is that it has been very windy over here and the cave has dried out again. Pillbox was also in perfect nick - see NWB site for news of Doylo's new problems.

Pill box was the only dry place today much to the relief of a certain filthy individual.The cave has seeped a bit after friday's rain. Sunday could be better if it doesn't rain tonight!

There was plenty to go at in the cave yesterday - not completely dry but plenty. Pill Box Wall was completely dry. Today in Llanberis it was gloriously sunny; I'd say you won't struggle to find dry rock over here in the next week (the forecast is mint).

Lots of rain yesterday and absolutely still calm today, so the cave was sopping wet, same next door and even Pill Box Wall was minging. Went to Manor Crag and, save for the odd bit of seepage, it was bone dry. Had a good session.

Despite masses of rain and widespread flooding in N Wales, there was still plenty of dry rock to be found on the Ormes today. The cave was half wet, same at split Infinity (The eliminate pillar and Slim were dry), but Pill Box Wall was mint, apart from 2 damp holds on the Original problem and a drainage streak through Chocolate Wall.

I was there today, and so were lots of other folk. Pretty good conditions, considering the stillness of the day. Some random wet holds in the cave, but plenty to go at. I didn't look at Pill Box Wall. Tomorrow looks a little windier so it might be alright, depending on wind direction and various other bits of witchcraft.

I might go again tomorrow, depending on how I feel in the morning. Right now I've got that distinctive post-Ormes 'I've been trampled on by a large shire horse' feeling.
