Steve’s not psyched for BB (or moving to Llandudno)Maybe Pete Dawson might be interested after he’s done with Mutation - he lives in Manchester

History, quality, within driving distance. Would have thought with a bit of on the spot updates you could get conditions checked before travel.
In fact I used to see him arrive at longridge on his rode bike, don his climbing shoes and chalk bag, get on at the left, traverse all the way across and come straight back without stepping off. Never breaking a sweat and smiling the whole way. Then just get back on his bike and cycle off. Climbing in his cycle shorts was kinda cool too.I really hope he wasn't there the day I feel off, this was back when the cows used to share the field.... I came off badly, pretty much head first, arms out to break my fall only to be greated by one of them cowpats that has turned crusty on the outside by gooey on the inside.
He’s been on Liquid, Sea of and BB and not been back to finish any of them. I don’t think conditions are any worse. Kilnsey is wet most the time. Malham is boiling a lot of the time. LPT hardly seeps. Main thing is the tides which is a pain if not local. And not great when humid but that goes for most the sport crags.
Must be just shite then like Megos said.

Completely off-topic, but I remember Lovatt telling me that you couldn’t consider yourself a Longridge local until you’d landed arse first on a cow pat. I think he gave it a name - “The Longridge Botty Slap” or something like that.
Thanks for that Shark, really interesting interview. It ends rather abruptly, or is that just me?

Wish my mouth had not been open... not cool...
