I was full of honourable intentions to go to Burbage but when I got there at 10:15, there were no parking spots left. Is that unusual? Do people go earlier specifically to catch a parking spot?I went to Apparent North instead, which was great. Too warm for conditions connoisseurs, but very nice.
When did you last try to go to Burbage Stone?! I reckon Its been like that since I started climbing in 2011!
If the PDNP does implement charges for burbage and popular parking then that may help reduce visitors. Which is surely the aim of any national park
Not eastern but the roads up to the Roaches were still in good condition today.Nothing logged at Stanage Plantation today, I guess the road to the Hollin Bank car park isn't gritted? Any thoughts for venues apart from Burbage with good access to the parking?

Any thoughts for venues apart from Burbage with good access to the parking?Secret Garden, Mother Cap, Owler Tor, Millstone etc. Anything accessable from Surprise View car park. The road gets gritted.Keyhole traverse could be awesome (Maybe this counts as Burbage...)RHS and Cratcliff should be fine
Any knowledge on the likely conditions of the bouldering at Wharncliffe tomorrow? Showery in Sheffield until 4ish today and it's put a lot of rain down recently, but don't have a feel for how fast stuff there will dry. Wind direction is probably helpful (SW), but not especially strong. Am I being wildly optimistic?
