Don't know how far it extends, but further down Millers Dale is an SSSI

This is instructive. http://www.natureonthemap.org.uk/map.aspx?m=sssi
Thanks for the link
Unfortunately my link doesn't seem to retain the zoom but SSSI clearly covers bulk of the dale.

Whilst I am obviously against odious little scroats stealing people's gear I'm also in the "no fixed draws" camp as it just seems unnecessary. As FD says, is it that difficult to dog up something to put them in? I always used it as a warm up. 

Anyway this is all

Yeah, had a look for maps too, but couldn't find a linkable one in under two minutes so gave up (although the official line is probably here which seems to be the Government site).

Meanwhile back on topic does anybody with a crystal ball know what Bens Roof will be like tomorrow evening?

No crystal ball, but the crag was incredibly dry this evening.  A strong wind was blowing and you could have said conditions were "perfect".

[nik at work]

Thank you, sounds like I should go for it.

Just to back up what T_B said, Ben's Roof was good thisevening, was playing on the finish but all the holds were dry.  Can't see it changing before tomorrow.

[fiveknuckle21]

All dry today.

[nik at work]

As someone not au fait with the finer points of Tor conditions could some kindly soul offer either a considered opinion or an actual we-went-there-and-it-was-like-this statement vis-a-vis the potential for a second session on Ben's Roof on Tuesday eventide, coupled with a general crag conditions assessment if at all possible?
Cheers me dears.

[Oli]

It all seemed pretty mint this evening. Didn't look too much at the RHS, but it appeared to be properly dry with a fair few people down there. Ben's roof had quite a few people on it as well.
I'm heading back on Tuesday so may see you there in that case.

[Stubbs]

All bouldering dry today, some slots on pband getting a little spoogey towards the end of the day.  Quite a lot of rain yesterday and today, so not sure if some seepage is due.

[Kingy]

Ben's will stay dry for the foreseeable despite the rain. I was on it on sat. It takes weeks of rain to make it unclimbable.

[nik at work]

Ye-Haaaaaaa.

Cheers folks.

[richdraws]

I was there last night and all bouldering was dry.

[Oli]

Dry tonight, bouldering and routes.

Good to meet you, albeit briefly, Nik. Did you get Ben's Roof done in the end?

[Kingy]

Hi sorry to clog up the thread with a lost n found item but if anyone picked up a black fleece of mine in the last few days, pls let me know. It wasn't there tonight. More ppl should read this than my original post on the lost and found thread:

Headtorch at cragx? fleece at the tor? are you going senile ted?!

[Kingy]

It would seem so! Oh well, I was prob due a new fleece anyway. I need to put on that many layers pre-redpoint to keep warm I may as well be kitting up for the Himalaya!

[nik at work]

Good to meet you also. Was surprised at just how good conditions were.

Didn't do Ben's in the end, I forgot my sequence so spent ages trying it a slightly different way which was not happening. Then the epiphany came just as my fingers failed. Oh well may be back on Thursday.

Hope your evening was more successful?

[Falling Down]

I also met you last night albeit briefly when I thought I knew your mate who was attempting Bens with you.  I was in the minging orange duvet on Indecent...
Hello Oli too..

Ben

[nik at work]

Ahhh, yes.
If only there weren't so many short balding middle aged men in the world eh?

If you see me again introduce yourself, I invariably won't recognise you as I have an almost limitless capacity for forgetting what people look like and indeed who they are.

And back on topic could someone please confirm my suspicion that Ben's will still be dry tomorrow evening?

[Ru]

It will certainly be climbable, if not actually dry.

[The Sausage]

everything absolutely harry boner last night...

[nik at work]

Cheers gents.

[Andy B]

Everything still dry (except Ben's Traverse) this afternoon.
