At a guess I'd say it would be good.

Dropped in last night. Most stuff left of and including Enchantress looked fairly dry, quite a few wet holds on the stuff to the right.

Day trip to Leicestershire on Sunday.

What's the best bet for some dry, family-friendly climbing? Easy routes and/or bouldering and somewhere for a nice picnic.

Cheers

I hear that!

Thought the Leicestershire conditions reports were best kept to one thread

Your best bet for this is probably Beacon Hill. Not great for bouldering but some nice solos and the possibility for easy routes (short!). Good for kids as theirs a lot of open space on the top of the hill and maybe even an ice cream van (although not sure at this time of year). Can be very windy up there.

The stable pit crag at Bradgate park. Family friendly crag, good for picnics and lots if deer. Only bouldering though so if is routes your after Markfield quarry or the Outwoods are good for easy routes for kids.

Thinking of heading over tomorrow to hide from the rain. Likely to be stuff climbable or is it more likely to be soaked? Thanks

Wouldn't be my first choice...

Not local any more so can't give you proper conditions beta, but if it's raining anything left of sorceress is pretty unlikely to be dry and stuff in the cave (cracked up, anti-hero etc.) can be a bit goppy after periods of rain. Definitely a roll of the dice.

Been a few times this week and it was mint conditions. But it's rained heavily today and last night so will most likely have seaped. Pretty devastated,  was meant to be there tomorrow evening for a night session.

Any body searching dry Rock then Leicestershire isn't looking bad.
Forest rock accessible and mostly dry.
Grimleys rock accessible and bone dry
Beacon hill looked nice and in the sun as I drove past.

Pretty much everything was dry today.  There was the occasional damp hold but nothing you can't dry with a rag.
