Thanks Sam. I'll go for a look at something north facing this afternoon

[hobblingfool]

Anyone been to Kyloe-in recently? The forecast is good for tomorrow and was thinking about heading up there. It should be dry right?

Thanks in advance for any reply. I bow down to your greater knowledge.

According to faceache knowledge, is wet as a very wet thing (as are the bowdens etc), not worth the visit.

If anyone cares... Tried shaftoe this afternoon, half bone dry and half sopping wet just depended on sun exposure.

[LB1782]

Thinking of going to Hepburn tomorrow. Anyone been out recently? Guess northern soul area will be wet but maybe the main area has had a chance to dry.

[Pebblespanker]

Can anyone advise if its worth a trip down from Fife to the County tomorrow AM or to leave it until Sunday when conditions sound excellent?. Forecast overnight suggests heavy rain dying out some time late morning, with very light westerly breeze - venue likely to be Shaftoe or Bowden Far End but I have no idea if the rock may not be dry enough to prevent damage or excess wear so wanted local/regulars advice 

Cheers, H

Personally I would leave it until Sunday if you have the option but if you decide on Sat I would totally avoid Bowden, heavy rain is forecast tonight and the rock there is trashed as it is.

Woods is probably the best bet but Shaftoe might be a good one since there is stuff facing all directions.

[Pebblespanker]

Cheers mate, we are going to pop down early on Sunday to be sure its dry

[LB1782]

 Thinking about heading out tomorrow. Lovely sleet just now in Edinburgh making me think again. Anyone more local able to share some weather beta?

[andy_e]

Quality now but I'm heading south though to slipstones!

[LB1782]

Thanks andi_e t'was indeed minty.  Don't think I have enough posts to wad anyone yet.

Anyone got any word of conditions for either Kyloe's or Bowden's? I've found myself at home, discovered a bus that heads up that way, and am itching to get out.

[rodma]

Bowdens both completely sopping as of 10 mins ago. Not even any chalk left on any of the cave holds. Kyloe will be too. Looks like fog has slithered down the crags and there is not a breath of wind or a dry hold to be found. Shitbags

[Gallant]

Bollocks! Cheers anyway. I'm home for the next month, there's got to be at least a couple of dry days up that way in that time. Surely.

[iwasmexican]

yep will confirm that, just got back from kyloe and it was buggered

[Gallant]

Anyone hit Bowden today? Tempted to try catch a bus out in the morning and walk, but it means an early start.

[J_duds]

has anyone been recently, hows are the crags looking? Will it be worth the drive up this weekend?
cheers
John

[adam_NE5]

Been pretty poor up here for the last week or so, had a lot of rain over the last few days too it's probably not worth it tbh.

[Gallant]

Any word on what today has been like around bowden and the like, hoping to head up tomorrow

[bendavison]

Bowden will probably be wet or too damp to climb without damaging it more. It'd be pretty windy in any case. Some stuff at backers will be dry though, Hepburn woods could be too, although I've heard that trivial pursuits boulder is a bit wet so best avoided. Kyloe will be fine as per I'd imagine.

[Gallant]

Damn, I was hoping the wind might blow bowden dry. I might need to run to kyloe instead then, hopefully the bus is on time so I get a couple of hours daylight.

[gme]

Bowden, back Bowden and kyloe dry Monday & Tuesday but front Bowden out due to not been able to stand up in the wind never mind climb on Monday.

The woods had a few damp patches but only really crouching tiger not climbable, the rest was minty.

It rained this morning and has been a bit damp all day but no rain since about 10am and decent wind so the woods will be fine.

[Gallant]

Kyloe in marginally damp today, most of the walls higher up had a layer of overlying condensation, some drizzle throughout the late afternoon.

[benj_d]

Hoping for Hepburn woods tomorrow noon, does anyone think it will be dry?

[gme]

Looks a decent forecast but its raining at the minute and been damp most of the day.
Could be touch and go. Later the better  I would say.
