think about it though; if no one knows it is there and you put it on silent then no one can pinch it.

thats an interesting philosophical question - if a phone rings in a forest, and I'm not there, and it makes a sound, but I don't hear it, but someone records it and plays it to me at a dinner party, does that mean I'm still in the forest?

whats plato doing about it? nothing.

when the battery gets low just charge it from whoevers car is in the space under saline drip.

Or get one of those wind up phone chargers, good for warming up with.

This is quality material. You boys really should be in charge of something. How about the government; imagine that. Prime minister Cofe and Secretary of State Dave. I for one would be looking forward to that bizarre hairball utopia. :great:

Right, considering training it over for the day tomorrow. Any word on conditions? Also anyone heading out I could maybe join so as not to bring a mat?

Yesterday there was a surprising amount of dry rock. I think I may have heard powerband and rattle and hump were dry, but I didn't check em out. Ben's roof was dry, and the routes around the middle.

Pretty good at 1000 this morning and drying out by the minute. Cold and a fresh breeze drying even the wettest of pockets

Right, Saturday night good, Sunday morning, shit, Sunday afternoon, ok again, later Sunday evening, bad.

So the wind and any sun are taking the seepage away in the late morning and afternoon, and it starts coming through again in the late evening. Generally, the bouldering seems to be drying in the afteroon, the routes less so. For anyone interested Evo, Mecca, Weedkiller, Chimes, Make it Funky, Hubble all have wet sections that don't seem to clear throughout the day.

I would hope though, that even given the above, the patches of wetness are diminishing? at least a bit?

Drying out nicely. Still some seepage. Slot pocket on Mecca wet, few streaky bits here and there. Short stuff is pretty much dry. good conditions this evening.

Body Machine was piss wet out of the tree, the upper section might've been ok though. Things like Sardine and In Brine were ok. The right hand side was seeping a lot.

conditions on the bouldering today were great provided you were psyched for such classics as 15-7-8-14, slot-7-19-14, 1-7-12-14 and of course 1-8-22-8-1-8-22-8-1-8-22, which i fell of the last move of. everything else was wet.

I've a pay as you go phone to submit for the conditions hotline, just need to obtain the car charger from an other address. Who am I sending it to then as guardian? Whoever that may be, you'll need to donate a sim card for the cause as I don't have a spare one.

Oh dear Dave. These are all clearly pointless eliminates.
