Anyone ventured out yet? Can't decide whether to go to somewhere like the roaches instead.

Is there somewhere high that would get above it all?  When I went to kinder the other day we were above all the fog but don't fancy such an epic walk-in today!

looks very damp in the rivelin valley; visibility less than 30m, I was just wondering the same thing...

[Stabbsy]

Winking Man webcam looks very grey, but I might head that way shortly from Glossop then on from there if it's crap.

Well this is the first weekend I've owned a phone capable of accessing the Internet so if I get to a crag first,  I'll post the status of it.

did anyone get out yesterday?

any ideas about what conditions will be like this afternoon

now that my man-flu has been downgraded to a cold* I might try wondering around outside


* "feed a cold" - excellent excuse

Don't forget to take your magic wet chalk

Yesterday was a disappointment. You let me down, Met Office, you let me down.

Today is a similar forecast but looks a lot brighter. Given that the roofs were dry first thing today, and it was clag not serious rain yesterday, I reckon it'll be decent.

[lagerstarfish]

thanks dude

unfortunately, more paracetamol and bed trumped grit psyche today

[Johnny Brown]

Burbage was okay late on, surprisingly mild though.

Bouldered at Remergence and it felt pretty sticky, then positively chilly at Higgar. Think I'll stay indoors

I shall put it to management that we should start treating client work as if it was a computer game

Any update appreciated. I did my part and went hunting yesterday but everything was wet. The works was full of people discussing their failed quests for dry rock.

[Plattsy]

Roads wet and walls damp at the Fox House <10mins ago.

[rossydoodle61]

Anyone in the area keen to offer some wisdom? It rained a lot through the night and fog is forecast, so wondered if there was any hope for dry rock? Or whether it's best left for tomorrow. Ta.

[Johnny Brown]

Slim. Brighter spells forecast later, but might not be enough. Sunday looks better.

[rossydoodle61]

Cool. Tomorrow it is then. Ta!

[tomtom]

Looking promising west side... Suns out here in Manc..

[rossydoodle61]

I'm in Manc too and the sun gave me hope. However, fog on the forecast and a mate near Sheff saying it was raining this morning gave me the fear.

As an aside, do you have a good recommendation for any quick drying stuff with easy access from South Manc?

[tomtom]

From S Manc ~ peak (obvs) but also stuff like Brownstones is fairly fast drying and 35-40 min away. Tbh it's not great for near fast drying stuff.

Personally, if my back wasn't ferked i'D be heading to Thorn.. I bet that's out of the clag.. But it's a bit of a drive and a walk!

[r-man]

West seems best today. Bowland grit might be a good option, but I'm feeling too lazy to make the trip.

Easy access from S. Manchester - wouldn't Hobson Moor be your backup crag? Normally I'd suggest Blackstone Edge, but I heard the clag is in north Calderdale so it would be a bit risky. Might go there tomorrow.

Sunny in Bolton, so Brownstones will be dry. I'm heading to Wilton 1 which has a few fast drying walls.

[tomtom]

Hobby moor can be seepy - esp the back wall which (let's face it) has the best probs/traverse..

[tomtom]

Looks like Bowland is lovely.. Fatneck is up at Windy Clough...
