Burbage mostly dry but covered in mist all morning, but during afternoon it broke up and wasn't to bad.

Frogatt was climbable (for routes) but didn't really dry out completely at all today.

Rowtor / Stanton were mostly dry today. The odd damp problem but still plenty to go at.

Clag has lifted from the city centre and the roads/paths are drying out, not much wind though.

It was pretty crap out, a few things kind of dried off but it's largely gopping.  Good to meet Nibs though, them boys are mad keen, good syke.

Gardoms North was running with water (not sure why I even tried there)  Curbar was about 50% dry.

Off to Curbar today. Psyched to start the trad season. Good chance of it drying there?

Rain last night and the roads are damp in Sheffield Centre at the minute and add to that there doesn't seem to be much wind to dry things off. Given that everything was wet there yesterday I don't rate your chances that highly but Curbar is one of the better crags when the rest of the Peak is out of nick so you might get lucky.

Much the same start as yesterday, most of what dried best at Stanage yesterday were the more exposed problems on the edge so if it does dry up, which the forecast suggests it might, then look for the exposed buttresses that will be taking what wind there is.  As long as you're not set on doing specific routes you should be able to find something in nick.

Wharncliffe missed most of the clag that appeared to be lingering over the Peak today, drying nicely when we arrived at about 11:30 and a light shower around 16.00 was a minor nuisance.

Turned into a stunning day in the end. Started off at Curbar / Baslow before heading up to the plantation where I spotted various Italians / UKBers.

Was Lore at Plantation? I saw a passionate looking man in a UKB hoodie but wasn't sure.

That was him. I had to look twice as the 'tache has been swapped for a full beard.

I've bagged a rare day off work and I'm looking to get out tomorrow, chances? Sheffield feels mild and damp as I write this, I'm optimistic about the sunshine forecast tomorow mind. At rivelin would faze action/purple haze area be ok with half a day's dryness?

Rivelin is definately a good bet. Those two probs dry pretty quick and even if they're still damp there are other even quicker drying ones to try e.g. Happy Campus, Cheaks N Beaks, Moontan, Acid Reign
