Really good at the roaches, then it snowed and now its bad. Anywhere sheltered from the fine snow - ramshaw probably is still in good nick.

OffshoreAndy · February 14, 2013, 06:26:03 pm

Ice punter! Backed off any approach ice yet?

Wipey Why · February 15, 2013, 11:31:39 am

Changes of dry rock tomorrow?

Eddies · February 15, 2013, 12:07:09 pm

Best connies will be the windiest spots that dry quicker. Hill fog forecast tomoz so could be claggy high up. Sundays looking like the best day fo sho.

Bit late but the Roaches was all bone dry yesterday, conditions were good in the morning, got slightly warm later on.

OffshoreAndy · February 17, 2013, 07:33:08 pm

can't seem to win. got too hot on lower tier - good day for trad ing it up though.

Eddies · February 17, 2013, 08:26:55 pm

Everyone in the world was at the Roaches today!... I could see them all scurrying about from the peace of Hen Cloud, which a couple of mates and I had to ourselves

Most conditions up there were great out of the bitterly cold wind.

went to Hobson moor yesterday, all dry except a few patches on the left wall, traverse was dry though

Any reports on the roaches today? Have the day off but want to know whether its worth the 2hrs drive or should I stay in and train!

Bonjoy · February 26, 2013, 10:49:02 am

Looks like a clagfest at nearby Flash on here http://www.buxtonweather.co.uk/

bedrock · February 26, 2013, 10:58:59 am

Ahhh rubbish.

Maybe not the best conditions to try C3P0 then...training session it is!

James Oakes · March 12, 2013, 04:35:36 pm

Anybody been up to Wimberry recently?

measles23 · March 25, 2013, 10:44:55 pm

Anyone put off the Roaches at the moment should think again; because its been prevailing easterlies the crags have effectively sheltered the access road from the heavy drifting affecting everywhere else - access was OK; also the rock hasn't got much lying snow on it and no thaw as yet - Tetris block was mint..

Wipey Why · March 27, 2013, 04:20:10 pm

I'm desperate to get out on to the Grit this weekend. If anyone has been out and about please let us know what its like and what the roads out there are like.

stvey1987 · March 27, 2013, 10:29:53 pm

me toooo! I really want to get baldstones traverse done before end of spring! if anyone has info on state of A53 would be appreciated...also the chances of that bit of rock being ok after all this snow...

Eddies · March 27, 2013, 11:42:21 pm

The roads are fine now and you will find some dry grit, not sure about baldstones travel tho,there's a good chance the low footholds will he under snow

Wipey Why · March 29, 2013, 07:34:36 pm

Was at Wimberry today. Everything is fine apart from the Scoop which is filled with snow and ice.

stvey1987 · March 30, 2013, 09:09:13 pm

Went out for a walk today...made sure it went past newstones/baldstones so could scope it out...

Seemed in generally good nick. Snow has shifted from the top of blocks already like charlie's overhang etc and also melted from the base of most of the blocks. rock dry :D

blacky · March 30, 2013, 11:40:03 pm

mrjonathanr · April 01, 2013, 09:24:44 am
