Most things were pretty dry as you would expect. There was a seepage patch on the high break left of Big Marine and possibly damp elsewhere but nothing obvious, sorry but I didn't (can't) go up there. It's overcast and slightly drizzly in my part of Lancs today

Forecast is showing a blob of rain sitting near Preston all day, but nowhere else in Lancs. It's fine in Bolton. Bad luck!

Never having visited the mighty CYL what are the chances of it being dry on Saturday (Given it does shit it down any more between now and then...)?

tomtom · September 28, 2012, 11:54:24 am

Bump... any local wisdom?

Serpico · September 28, 2012, 12:01:30 pm

Raining today so almost certainly shit.

Thanks Serps, suspected as much... but hoped for a different answer

Edit

Looks OK on the webcam I use to check before visiting, so who knows... I wouldn't risk it if travelling any distance though.

Serpico · September 28, 2012, 12:12:28 pm

These are useful for checking the weather (and traffic) up there as well.

Grubes · September 28, 2012, 12:17:18 pm

thanks Serpico

Tomtom will message you tomorrow to decide if its worth a trip

How's it looking at the big L?

georgenorth · December 01, 2012, 04:30:39 pm

Minty conditions today, although some of the higher breaks were seeping so not so good if you're into shuffling sideways.

joe dobson · January 07, 2013, 08:31:25 pm

anyone been up there recently? Only interested in the traverse so hopefully shouldn't be to bad $:-\$

Teaboy · February 24, 2013, 12:09:32 am

Does CyL get written off over the winter or is it worth checking out tomorrow (Sunday)

nai · February 24, 2013, 08:16:12 am

Definitely worth it. Stuff added to ukc logbooks yesterday so partly dry at least, would imagine mostly ok given how dry it's been.

Teaboy · February 24, 2013, 08:53:10 pm

Went, didn't encounter any wetness but I didn't look past the non-wobbly block. Felt greasy but I think that's more from needing a bit of a clean rather than dampness. The sun even came out and it was mint to be climbing outdoors for the first time in ages.

joe dobson · March 24, 2013, 03:09:49 pm

just come back from a very brief session at longridge, everythings dry but my god was it cold. Pads never stayed on the floor longer for longer than a few minutes to the wind.

mikenty · March 24, 2013, 05:57:51 pm

thanks for that report, somewhat puts me off trip down tomorrow...

joe dobson · March 24, 2013, 08:02:30 pm

I'm heading back anyway, if the wind eases off. Only lasted a hour and only managed to climb for 5 minutes, spent more time chasing things and warming my fingers up.

AdamD · March 31, 2013, 10:06:23 pm

It's dry as a bone at the moment! A little bit windy though.

Teaboy · April 04, 2013, 02:14:07 pm

Which way does the crag face? I'm trying to work out if it'll be sheltered from the wind this afternoon. I'm guessing it's a bit Eastish as the sun comes off mid afternoon in winter (I think)

andy_e · April 04, 2013, 02:19:21 pm

South-south-east

Teaboy · April 05, 2013, 09:00:42 am

Absolutely bone dry at the moment, as you might expect

Teaboy · April 15, 2013, 09:47:50 am

Few seepage lines yesterday evening; Push to Prolapse and sitters to Fertile Delta and In Excess. Most other things dry. A lot of the big holds at shoulder height were pretty gopping but I'd expect them to dry out soon as it was pretty warm with a good breeze

Teaboy · April 15, 2013, 09:59:50 pm

Bone dry tonight but started raining as we left

jimbob · May 01, 2013, 12:23:41 pm

Very good conditions last night. Everything dry.
