How likely is it to be buggered tomorrow? Forecast looks good at the moment.

Would guess there will be a similar amount of stuff to do, unless temps suddenly change. Churnet often seems an odd one to predict conditions, especially crags like ousal. I've rarely been when there's nothing dry. I'd give it a go...

If there wasn't going to be any wind I'd say no chance. Bit of a breeze and drop in temps maybe. Might take a look myself, as its on the way to the Stoke wall.

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.

I saw that, just a little bit OTT.  I forgot my brush unfortunately so couldn't remove them.

Has anyone been down this week yet?  Thinking of getting out tomorow or friday.

Gentlemans was dry yesterday, as was Ousal. Didn't go anywhere else.

As above really, any clues as to what the seepage will be like on thursday? The forecast says sunny but theres a bit of rain forecast between now and then.

Anyone know what state the crags are in? I could do with visiting all of them one day this weekend, ideally... Ta.

Popped over there yesterday morning- small bits of Ousel traverse starting to dry, otherwise hopeless. BUT, the sun was strong, so may have improved a fair bit by evening, and it's been fairly dry over here (shrops/staffs border) today so possible for the weekend?

Wrights and Gentleman's were both sopping friday afternoon.  Didn't seem like much hope of drying, was humid and damp but it's been windy today so who knows what they'll be like tomorrow.

Wrights was pretty much fine yesterday, and gentlemans almost ok, but bits of damp.

We were there on Saturday in the rain.  Most of Gentleman's was dry with just some damp on the top sloper of the Nose.  Some of Wrights was dry (eg Rocket Ride and Wrights Unconquerable) although quite a few problems on the main section had damp holds.  These would have dried on Sunday and today.  That cool steep 7a arete on a bit of rock thats a pain to get to was wet but will have dried yesterday and today.  I cant remember its name!

Didnt go anywhere else.

Great at Ousal and Wright's last night. I'd imagine most crags will be fine. Have fun!

Thinking of heading to Churnet for the first time this weekend, anyone know how it is holding out under the fairly heavy showers we have been having?
