Keen to check out the bouldering at Goyden near Lofthouse, anyone know if it might be dry after recent rainfall? Cheers.

Majority of the main problems stay dry from what I've heard, the tops may get a tad damp.

Great, cheers!

Did you go? Dry?

B0405413 · December 22, 2018, 06:31:33 pm

Yeah I went and it was gopping. Then optimistically went to Joker's wall at Brimham and that was also gopping. Then went home to cry.

Anyone been or got a crystal ball? Thinking of a quick hit tomorrow.

No but please do check it out so I can calibrate my conditionsometer for future reference.

I can’t imagine being in a fit state, I drove past Kilnsey on Tuesday and North Buttress was almost entirely black. Also showers forecast Saturday.

dunnyg · October 18, 2019, 04:55:54 pm

Baaah. New plan required, back to the drawing board. If I am nearby this weekend I will take a look though.

I won’t be surprised if it was dry! I have never seen it wet! I also recon kilnsey bouldering probably dry

andy_e · October 18, 2019, 05:34:24 pm

It never seems to seep much. I've been after a day of torrential rain and it was bone dry. But we'ev had nigh-on a month of torrential rain, so I'm hedging my bets...

dunnyg · October 18, 2019, 06:12:13 pm

Maybe I just need to believe. Don't have a topo for the kilnsey bouldering (if there is one?), so not sure what is what. It is on the list at some point though.

monkey boy · October 18, 2019, 06:14:28 pm

Keen to know if you do go.

That’s the spirit. Channeling the politics of today to climbing. Fuck the facts. Just believe. Even if the rock is smeg covered dripping gop - if you believe it will be primo.

👍

Don’t forget to stop at Greg’s on the way home to get Will some vegan sausage rolls - and make sure he pays you first

and pull harder...

Likewise. Should start a sweepstake

I'd totally written it off with all the rain we've had, but then if you don't go you won't know!

Imagine this before the internet.

Despatch the sacrificial Huwbert to Nidderdale to witness the gop for himself.

teestub · October 18, 2019, 07:56:10 pm

Don’t listen to Turnip, it’s so wet he’s left the country!

I've just been and it's bone dry

I might set up a crowd fund page for fuel (and trees to carbon offset my travels)
