Hit me with your most useful sites for Peak boulderers. At the mo, my short list includes this shit hole, peakbouldering, the Outside webcam, and the Flash Bar Stores webcam. They're the ones I use the most.

Metoffice peak district forecast. Fairly accurate up to a couple of days in advance, if not foolproof.

Hi Cofe

Good to meet you on Sunday

I find http://buxtonweather.co.uk/ really useful for checking temps, humidity, wind/gust speed/direction, etc.  It also has a link to the C&F webcam

And

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/pws/invent/weathermap/

for plotting rainfall.

Several other web-cams listed on the Wiki too.

May as well add those I've tweeted about to this list...

Lagerstarfish Peak District

Chew Valley

Keith Tourton's Grit Bouldering

And some of the publications from these clowns are quite handy.

Lagerstarfish Peak District



I wouldn't bother with that one. Since Go Ogle fucked me about I stopped maintaining it. Peakbouldering.info is much better at the same thing

For car-less missions I found Traveline East Midlands invaluable.
