Pretty blustery up at Stanage. Sketching around on Daydreamer, my mat, weighted down with bag containing water bottle and approach shoes, blew vertically up and over the top of the crag. It made it about 100m down the path on the top before I caught it. At some point my shoes became detached and I couldn't find them, so a long walk back to the car in Anasazis. Felt like good training for K2.

I think I know the answer but it will be wet at Stanage wont it ?
Just so I can then decide to climb inside with a clean conscience but be absolved from personal responsibility

I can see blue sky to the NW and it is pretty breezey

however, you shouldn't abuse recently wet grit

[lagerstarfish]

trackside block and gorilla's toilet were fine this afternoon - odd spots of water dried off very quickly

I would guess that tomorrow afternoon will be similar

Burbage north all good this afternoon, if a little blustery.

Anyone been out today? Didn't rain but less than inspiring connies over in the western Peak today.

[lagerstarfish]

I think this sums up Burbage North today

[blacky]

That looks like way more fun than remergence buttress!

[Gritter]

Any info please?

Looks grey and claggy from S1, roads were pretty damp cycling to work too.

Don't forget to check the webcams linked from the Wiki.

Does it look as tosh as Manchester does?

I can hear rain bouncing off my bedroom window in Nether edge. Doesn't sound nice out there.  [Rolls over for five more minutes]

you'd have thought that the rain would have washed most of the chalk off

[Grubes]
