Would anyone be in a position to comment on the likelihood of Widdop plantation being boggy at the mo? Want to pop up tomorrow...
it dries pretty quickly, especially if there's a bit of wind about.
Hello,A slightly general Q about Widdop - as I've only been a handful of times...I'm thinking of heading up on Friday - and given the week of rain/showers we've had - wondering if it'll still be fine. I would have thought that Widdop is fairly fast drying (exposed, good quality Grit, no drainage lines running over the rocks etc..) - so probably all right. But wondered if there was any local knowledge to the contrary?I guess under some problems can get wet (Splashdown, Pool traverse are the clues!!) but that aside...???Thanks TT

Problem is, once you've done FOB, what is there to go back for?!
I recall a fraught combination of groin-grinding and rolling sideways when I managed it - not something I could ever "showboat"! I suspect if you're tall, the top-out is the crux (so long as you can crimp on pebbles). My previous post was slightly facetious - any recommendations re the off-plantation stuff? I had a look once but was not impressed enough to return. I am hoping that I caught it in damp and grotty conditions and misjudged it - as I would like a compelling reason to return (the sheltered location make it a useful venue in the inevitable baltic winter gales).
still its not as high as WSS...
