If anyone is heading this way be warned there was a speed-camera van in the layby leaving Stoney. I forgot to check if it was still in-situ on the return journey.

back on topic... hows the cornice looking currently? any seepage coming back? its been raining on and off with short heavy showers interspersed with periods of hot breezy weather in stockport so was wondering if it was getting wet or not.

cheers
Tim

I was wondering if it was going to be a repeat of the Cheedale jungle experience from a few weekends ago due to Fridays predicted rain?

Yep - mainly dry still. There was run off affecting the tops of several routes (Nemesis, Spiders, Clarion, all right of LATB) when we arrived but this was well on the way to drying when we left and should be OK if weather holds. Seepage-wise the roof of K3 was dripping a bit and Last Eggs was wet, but other than that all was fine.

Probably worth getting down there soon if the forecast is for more rain as the seepage may well work its way through in the next few days if we keep getting downpours. Normally I wouldn't think that but seeing the river today made me realise what a deluge there was over the weekend - when we arrived it looked like the Ganges from the amount of silt in it, it was lapping the wooden footbridge and the steeping stones were about a foot underwater, we had to wade in. Then it undercut a tree on the opposite bank and that came crashing down over the river. All quite magnificent really  :o

K3 was dripping a bit

I'd be very grateful if people venturing down over the next few days could report back on conditions of the above and the routes surrounding Bored...

looked to be suffering when I wandered under, but not familiar with it to know precisely.

Returned from Cornice not long ago. Most of the crag still dry, just a bit of run off on some routes and a few patches of seepage that have reappeared.
Starts of Jug Jocket and Roof Warrior looked damp.
Cry of Despair was fine except for the undercut. This was damp but we towelled it off and it was doable.
Big wet streak all the way down Old Man River and the wall to the right was soaking.
Top of War Memorial was damp.
Wet patch 2/3 up Whose Line Is It.
Bored and its neighbours all dry.
Botom of K3 looked damp.
Top wall on Cosmopolitan and its neighbours looked damp but improved through the day.

Nice one, just hope tomorrow's forecast rain doesn't materialise now.

First go today I fell off trying to move up off the sloper at the end of the hard moves and decided I wasn't going to be able to do the route. Derek suggested one little tweak to my sequnce for that section and next go I Ondraed the motherflipper.
