Eastern Edges Today (Read 803141 times)

Anyone know what the eastern edges are looking like this morning? Just got a morning slot and wondering whether it'll be too damp/frozen. Ta

Pavements are definitely icy, as I just discovered rushing out with the blue bin as the lorry approached.

Walls in shade are damp and/or icy but those that catch the sun are dry, would have thought any rock catching the sun will be fine although breaks may be damp in the back, etc. Looks glorious out over the Peak.

Ta , just moved slot forward to midday

Absolutely mint out.
Perfect connies. -2, dry and no breeze

Nice at plantation. Stuff in the shade a bit damp in places, but drying out with the sun. Cold.

*Fingers in ears* LA LA LA LA LA LA

Couldn't be next week when I'm free all weekend

Had to be today with wife on call and kids having places to be and zero chance of getting out

Precisely. Nothing to see here. No mint conditions at all. Move along nicely now...

How likely is it that Rivelin will be dry tomorrow? Specifically Master Kush if that helps. I've never been before but heard it's a good venue in bad weather. I've had abuse before for asking questions like this as I'm now a 'local' but the alternative is driving south to the Roaches area or something so any time saving tips would be greatly appreciated!

deacon · January 09, 2015, 06:05:37 pm

Swirl be wet. It's heavy gales and lots of rain out there, even rivelin won't survive that. Can't think of anything roaches way that'll be ok either.
If you're lucky and it stops raining, then stuff in the wind will dry at open crags but the climbing will be pretty grim.
I'm a big believer in trying to get out on rock as much as possible but it's defo more of an indoor day tomorrow

If only there was some kind of national agency responsible for meteorological forecasting, accessible online.

cha1n · January 09, 2015, 06:18:47 pm

Ah but just because it's raining doesn't necessarily mean everywhere will be wet Cofe! Just trying to get some expert opinions.

When I checked the weather earlier Leek area had a better forecast but never got a chance to check Web cams before dark.

cofe · January 09, 2015, 06:22:40 pm

Exactly, Earl Crag is usually a safe bet when it's raining.

nai · January 09, 2015, 06:44:07 pm

A few smeggy bits in breaks aside -10 was dry and sheltered today.

See you all there tomorrow.

tomtom · January 09, 2015, 07:38:58 pm

Where can I get a good haircut in Sheffield?
Is there a good barbers near Earl?

fatdoc · January 09, 2015, 07:53:32 pm

The discrepancy between the gale outside / bbc vs met check is more than normal.. That's for sure...

Ill see what tomorow brings... Minus ten seems alluring.. Never thought I'd say that again!

lagerstarfish · January 09, 2015, 08:09:40 pm

Ben's Wall / Great White area might be worth a shot in the gales - might be sheltered enough at ground level for the pads to stay put

Probably not one that'll keep your perm topped up Tom!

Thanks for the suggestions people, there's hope at least.

I was going to reply, but thought I'd better ask the forum first :p

cha1n · January 09, 2015, 10:23:44 pm

Nice one Mr_Cus, i'll add that to my favourites.

Ha Tom, just make sure you post the question in the right section and you'll get no complaints from me!

205Chris · January 10, 2015, 04:16:51 pm

I took a chance on Blackfoot being dry this afternoon, which it was. Stayed dry even between the old hail shower.

For future reference it seems to be that rare thing of quick drying but reasonably sheltered.

mark20 · January 10, 2015, 05:22:37 pm

Kappix and Scrapheap Challenge at Harthill both dry and not too windy this afternoon. Some unique moves and scenery. and cha1n had a nice haircut

Haha, what were the chances of Tom making a crack about me and barbers the evening before I'd planned to have my hair cut!
