Not sure how good stuff not getting the sun tomorrow will be despite the breeze but I will defer to our man on the ground on The Chevin on that side of things! I think I could be one of those very pleasant days at crooky tomorrow, basking in the sun but sheltered from the northerlies.

I'm 99% certain Caley et al will be in good condition tomorrow, certainly for the afternoon. Strong Northerlies make a world of difference and with the low humidity added in... Basically anything exposed to that wind should be mint, especially as it's set to dry up this evening but stay windy throughout :thumbsup:

Felt mint out with the dog this morning with a good drying breeze. I reckon Bradders is right, anywhere thats catching that will be fine in a few hours.

Good wind, clear blue skies, and dry roads around Caley today. Skipped my morning walk, so I can't report on the boulders, but I'll probably be out later today if anyone requires 100% confirmation of the almost inevitably dry rock.

Would be useful to know, ta. Good drying connies today but most of the stuff I'm keen for is green and slimy (ofc)

Mint connies at roadside this afternoon. Didn't end up much further up than Otley Wall, but everything I saw along the bottom was bone dry, apart from the permi gunk runoff left of New Jerusalem (although the footholds were fine). If you're happy brushing stuff I'd expect the worst would scrub up fine tomorrow.

Absolutely cosmic conditions at Wimberry yesterday. I think I might have to give up climbing on grit except when it's mint. It's just a different sport.

Fuck that Sheff-centric Eastern Edges bollox, how has the proper scrittly scrittle been today with those magnificent 2mph drying gales??

It was mint at Brandrith today on Heaven in Your Hands (not mint enough for me to climb it though...). I walked in expecting it to be sodden but the wind had done the job by about 11. I'd imagine anywhere catching either that or the sunshine today will have been fine, but the wind only seemed to be blowing up on the top of the moor.

Any chance caley will be in connies tomorrow? Was hoping to pop by and try zoo york, will a fan be necessary? (If so I’ll charge me batteries)

I was trying something very quick drying in the Ilkley area this morning and afterwards popped to the cow and calf to scope out Block Arete. Even east facing rock that had been catching the morning sun and what little wind there was wasn't really dry (12pm).
Didn't go to Caley though.

I drive past at 3pm and it looked very manky.

Anyone living near Caley like to make a prediction on how it would be tomorrow? I’ve not been in years but has been dry all week in Liverpool where I’ve been working… looks dry but maybe not bon con 1?

Worth a journey from Sheffield?

It was very dry on Tuesday but damp since then and still so today. Wind doesn't look amazing and humidity remaining high won't help. My guess is it wouldn't be worth the drive tomorrow. Sunday and Monday look much better.

What's the general state of play in the Peak today? Considering my options for tomorrow.


(I know the weather today is vile, but the humidity drop tomorrow is....annoyingly seductive)

Yeah I was being lazy copy and pasting from SM90 !

Cheers Haydn. Weather is weirdly good but concerned about lack of breeze and I'd rather go to the depot at peak times with multiple kids' parties in than Almscliff....
