I was considering going along if it was raining and I couldn't get out climbing.

It was clearly going to be a bit of a miserable do anyway due to the weather, but now I'm def not looking foward to it very much.  :thumbsdown:

Guess the site must have got too waterlogged, they should have left it at Millhouses where it was mostly on tarmac. Shame.

It was at Graves the first year - similar weather, total mudbath. On the plus side everything was pretty close together.

I actually thought returning to the original site on top of a hill was a good idea given the potential for flooding in Millhouses.





I went along in the first year, whilst it was decidedly wet underfoot I didn't think it was that bad (but was only there for an hour or so on the Saturday I guess the conditions probably deteriorated).

It appears to have now been removed but there was a brief post on UKC saying CragX would be having all the stuff they'd been intending on having on sale at Cliffhanger but in-store from 16:00 today all weekend.

The Sheaf (river) is going mental past tescos at the moment so I reckon Millhouses Park would be a no go, tarmac or not.

it was at this comp where Dan Bradley got in the final, didn't realise he had done so went off and had three pints yet still managed to come fifth!
