Lime beckons us forth,
As spring breathes life to the rocks,
Climbers heed its call.

And it was written - Hopefully that wasn't a knee jerk reaction and we've averted the biblical deluge.... Watch those tendons folks! :dance1:

I assume you were at Hawkcliffe yesterday Liam, some climbers car was parked there don't know many other people going! It was really good conditions last night! I hope you did your remaining projects as its lime season now!  :P :lol:

Correct, although I was doing more cleaning and gluing (Fullwood approved kit) than climbing last night. I must have seen you walking out as I saw two climbers leaving in the distance.

The perfect call. Insofar as anything associated with lime, and it's calling, can be considered good.

I really enjoyed Froggatt yesterday evening.

I was dithering whether to go there or to Roche Abbey right up until the last minute. In the end it was perfect conditions and I bumped into a great group of people there.
