This miserable excuse for a winter has managed to churn up one decent day so sack work off and make haste to your chosen project! You might not get another chance.

Too bloody late, I'm sitting in the office, looking at those crispy conditions out the window.

Snow forcast this w/e, so possibly get some gritstone if it stays dryish but cold, or more likely horrible soggy snow  :cry:

Thought you lot was off to Earl?  I'm keen to go anywhere on real rock, as I'm getting sick of my garage.

Autumn is a mystery problem - never hear much about it. Bring lots of pads.

Yeah, so did I. But I we could be meeting up with some mates coming up from t'south, so peak is good. I don't mind cos I've never been to eagle tor in good conditions. If we see you, you can show us the numbers on brad's arete.

Mind you, I'll probably be busted from t'edge bouldering comp anyroad.

The last time I tried Brad's, it spat me off bigstyle, after doing it about 5 times the winter before. 'Twas quite warm mind....

Must "Flash-ize" the video and put it back online. Needs editing too.

If it's crispy I might head for Yorkshire - fancy somewhere new where I can get a few things in - failing that Eagle would be ok, but most stuff there is projects for me.... seen the Lords Seat topos on yorkshiregrit.com?

All slimey and green - you should have got stuck into that offwidth like Nigel did! Sounds.....errrmmm....fun!

Earl is the poop, but might be green too - Anyone know what Earl's like at the moment?

Fingers crossed for next w/e too - might be sneaking a quick Slipstones visit in.

Why dont we go to slipstones tomorow.  Get up at the crack of dawn and travel up country :lol: .   Alternativly we could go to the Roaches.  It will be good weather and justin will be there to show us around.  You can get back on that slab aswell :wink: .
Mark is going to do Thing on a Spring which will be good to watch and film and you can realy test ou the chip on the way there :lol: .
Cheers

Coz I need a lie in, had a very tiring week!

Roaches is a possibility - see what the weather's up to as usual...might make Yorkshire yet though...
