Cheers JC, at least got Ina's as a back up if the red road is bad.

Has anyone been over this way recently? Hoping to check it out on sunday in an optimistic quest for dryness.
Cheers

Went down there on Wednesday, Cottage, and Ousal were fine, though Gentleman's was little damp. Given the forecast it should be okay (lap of Gods etc.....).

Didn't get to the Churnet in the end i'm afraid. Ended up at Cratcliffe. If anyone is interested, RHS was frosty on the tops of most stuff but Rowtor and Cratcliffe were mint.

Any chance that the Churnet has dried out a little yet? Hoping to get there on the weekend. Thanks!

I was at Gentleman's Rock today and it seemed to be mostly free of condensation but overnight rain had caused a lot of run-off on the right hand side of the crag; on the rock to the right of the Gentleman John crack there was seepage on most of the upper bit (ie. you couldn't really climb High Speed Imp Act or The Nose). Apart from that though the rest of the crag was mostly dry/dryable with the stepladder.

Wright's was drenched today. Not a single dry problem, or even hold.

I can't really see it improving much by tomorrow. It was in reasonable wind, but still dripping from every overhang by mid afternoon. The wind just didn't seem to be cutting through the moisture. It was noticeably warm so I guess it was condensing faster than it was drying.

Just been down today and it's grim.
Ousal/Cottage are horrible and damp and Wright's is condensed out and dripping - total write-off.

I think it's probably the warm humid air and cold rock. Having said that it's reasonably windy here in Derby, so if it stays dry for the next couple of days it might be fine by the weekend (Ousal was only a bit damp but Wright's was sopping). If I'm out that way again tomorrow I'll report back.

Temps and humidity dropped right off today. I'm not a Churnet expert but I'd say its a good bet.
Edit: just seen a forecast - wet and milder tomorrow. I dunno now, but I daresay its a god a bet as anywhere else.

Wright's was basically dry yesterday (friday) afternoon. A little soapy and the routes/topouts were damp but nothing disasterous. It rained yesterday night though so no idea what that's done to it.

Cheers. Went down there myself yesterday (sat). Finishes to many problems were dripping but still plenty to do.
Some twat has put large donkey marks on a couple of the problems up at wrights making it look worse than usual. Its lucky the crag cant be seen clearly from the path. Tried to remove what I could but didn't make much of a dent in the problem.
