My son told me last week that Balotelli had bought it. To be fair, its almost invisible from any public road.

Well I saw an ugly tall black chap wearing a Man U top and when told this was Rio's gaffe put 2 + 2 together, of course he could have been a visitor.

The poky white gaff is shown to be still on the market..http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-46782119.html/svr/3103;jsessionid=81C76BABCD2BC45386B31AB98251E720 Mrs Juan doesn't think there are enough helicopter pads for her, but quite liked the pool despite there being no 10m diving platform.

Damp.

Faces are dry ish - but pockets and breaks (and the odd ledge) damp. Its that kind of 'dangerous' conditions where it looks possible to climb but holds tend to break....

I left it and went to Helsby in't woods. Where the overhanging bits were fine.

Not Harmers but close. At Helsby and bizarrely it's condensed out! Never seen connies like it on Sandstone... Suspect Harmers would be crap too given the tree cover.

Harmers Ok (until it rains later) but Helsby int woods strangely damp/wet.

And now the Gopping Forecast from our jogging correspondent, North Cheshire, 12 noon...
Harmers Wood. Haydens, fair to moderate, some gop, right wall dry, floor soaked, nettles.
Classroom, ok in parts, winter cloak oncoming, grease.
Helsby in the Woods, crisp traversing, no longer perspiring.
Helsby Summit, westerly breeze, sunny aspect, small children curious.
Frodsham, dry, previous condensation evaporated.
Latest, brief squally showers all areas.

Thanks Steve, v. useful.

tomtom · November 02, 2014, 04:52:31 pm

Nice one Steve... roving jogging report

Andy - you about tomorrow?

BobbyBear · January 16, 2015, 07:09:32 am

Considering first visit here or frodsham this avvy/tomorrow a.m. Been soggy this week I know but with no leaf cover and it blowin a gale, worth a trip? or Pisa only?

andy popp · January 16, 2015, 07:32:17 am

I'm not sure what the weather has been like as I've been away (though it did rain overnight here in Widnes), but I think you would be very lucky to find much climbable at either venue. Probably best giving them a miss for now.

tomtom · January 16, 2015, 08:34:49 am

I doubt Harmers is dry..

BobbyBear · January 16, 2015, 04:04:08 pm

Plastic it is then.

steveri · January 16, 2015, 06:02:42 pm

Well it snowed on the hill at lunchtime...

JamieG · April 16, 2015, 01:54:49 pm

I was thinking of heading down tomorrow afternoon. Does anyone know what condition it is in? Or should I head to the peak / roaches?

Cheers Jamie

tomtom · April 16, 2015, 02:48:07 pm

Was good a week ago... So probably fine..

Though I've been in Vienna since Monday so don't know if it's rained etc..

JamieG · April 16, 2015, 02:53:56 pm

Cheers tomtom. Not too midgy then yet either?

tomtom · April 16, 2015, 02:58:23 pm

Not then.. But that was a week ago..

steveri · April 17, 2015, 01:00:06 pm

Like some kind of saddo Harmerholic I popped by last night on a bike ride and it was nicely dry - couple of lads getting stuff done.

tomtom · August 23, 2015, 11:12:54 am

Wet (no surprises) Helsby climb able under the overhang but its minginngly humid. I'd stay at home folks - or find an air conditioned facility

Fiend · May 07, 2016, 06:44:46 pm

80,000'C, totally still, overcast, and as a bonus, slightly midgey. Yeaaah!

andy popp · May 08, 2016, 07:59:15 am

It was nice when I got there, just before 7 (am), but yeah, I can imagine it was a bit grim by the afternoon.
