Oh, and... the tor has major patches of seepage. The RHS is soaked, massive patches of seepage on Revelations, right of pinches wall etc etc.

The Tor today was pretty good - seepage in places (pockets of Powerband soapy, Weedkiller a little damp) and Indecent up to the large undercut flakes was sopping, as you'd expect, but most of it all in good nick.

Good, I'd say - there yesterday and the pockets on problems are a bit minging (Power band start dripping) but otherwise everything is tip-top!

Shame - Good today, getting back to 'top tit' condition rapidly. Nobody else there except JC and me.
How was the grit?
Plenty of life left in the lime still, this year. Autumn doesn't very often let us down too badly??

All bouldering at tor apparently (second-hand info) sopping wet last night. Also very midgy on the grit last night

Excellent last night. A little dampness on powerband but certainly not a show-stopper (cos I did it  8))

Very dry and cool conditions on the Pinches Wall this evening (Monday) and most of the routes looked in good nick.  I don't know about any pockets on powerband 'cos I'm far to rubbish to even attempt it.

Fucking baltic yesterday. People in full thermals struggling to warm up. Even sharples had a hat on on Mecca.

Patches of run off (as opposed to seepage) on rhs and above verbal abuse etc. Pump up handholds dry - one wet foot hold, boot boys etc impossible. Stamina band undercuts dry but pocket 4 on pb claggy - climbable with care mind.

Meant to look at revelations but forgot.

Thanks Dobbin.

It's been dry all morning over here and there's a breeze so any runoff might have dried out now.

Last night Body Machine/Prow had horrible soapy streaks higher up but will probably be hunky dory now with some sun/breeze.  Think the bottom bit of Revelations was dry though.

Stamina/ Powerband soaking last night. A lot of this was runoff but even so I think the pockets were wet from seepage as well. Ben's Roof just about dry.

Revelations/ Chimes/ Mecca all dry. Body Machine affected by runoff at top bolt but should be OK if given a few days dry conditions.

Damn near perfect today, wind nearly dried out everything completely by end of the day, inc staminaband. Start of Body Machine shockingly dry.  :jaw:

Nice one Chris!  :lol: Completely baffling on the seepage front, I've given up predicting it now, you could write a Phd on it!

Bizzarely very dry PM for those that braved the rain and the fact that it was quite wet yesterday. Powerband completely dry. PUTP bone dry inc the starting pocket. Boot boys looked dry too. Go figure...  :shrug:
