I'm surprised a topic like this doesn't already exist as sticky! Perhaps it should be made so...

Off to the peak tomorrow, what's the Burbage South boulders like at the moment? Does Mother Cap have a pond underneath it?

Johnny Brown · January 20, 2006, 06:19:36 pm

No pond at mother cap, most places dry after the hurricane force winds. Burb south little boulders may be a bit muddy.

Cheers dude... Now bring on Conan The Librarian!

Bbge South Boulders were in pretty good nick today. Was a tad muddy, but nothing a bit of dead bracken and a couple of pads won't cover. Enjoy

Simon, did you get much done yesterday? And I presume you're still mad ferret for the Lleyn trip next weekend?

andy_e · January 21, 2006, 07:11:16 pm

mother cap was good today, as was Stanage Far Right, Buckstone, and burbage bridge. Burbage west was a bit iffy, the arete right of westworld was soaking.

absolutley fucking boiling today at rivelin.

Which shits on JB's assertion that is was too cold to do routes at rivelin. In actual fact it was too warm. In your face girlfriend. :

ned · January 21, 2006, 09:41:05 pm

Was rivelin mostly dry then? Or were the more shelterd bits still damp?

dave · January 21, 2006, 09:54:09 pm

rivelin was 98% dry

ned · January 21, 2006, 10:00:33 pm

Excellent. Thanks.

Got most of the easy stuff on the boulders I haven't visited before (lovely circuit!) and did my usual trick of donating copious quantities of skin to the Sheep without actually doing it! Will definately go down next time I'm there mind...

Totally psyched out of my tiny mind for Sat. Can't wait! Just hoping the weathers's decent!

If anyone else is interested, there'll be a rather large crew from Liverpool heading to the Lleyn for some Gabbro action in an Aquamarine stylee. All welcome (it's my 30th b'day... :cry: )

Dragged this one up again.

What's it like in the Peak at the moment? Is this claggy, overcast weather staying on the hills as mist? Or is it managing to clear the crags?

It's been very grey and overcast for ages here in Liverpool, there's very little breeze and I just don't want to waste a drive to the Peak at the weekend if it's all going to be in the mist and too damp to get much done. Especially when the eternal sunshine of North Wales is available. :?

Thanks.

see the sticky topic at top of bouldering forum, tomorrows weather, for yesterdays conditions HOWEVER today is warmer in sheff and up in Lodge moor(pretty high and close to top of stanage) it was little bit drizzly this morn at 5.

BenF · February 03, 2006, 08:20:04 am

Thanks, I'll look at that thread. It was a bit drizzly on my way to work this morning too.

Cheers.

Fiend · February 03, 2006, 09:30:18 am

Lower edges below 300m i.e. the freezing fog line, have been bone dry and f-ing cold.

Just had a report from the Ms. driving past Higgar that fog is really thick and damp, though everything is still frosty. Sounds like it has some serious gash potential, could still be good lower down.

BenF · February 03, 2006, 12:13:58 pm

Thanks Fiend (and Ms Fiend). I will call the Adams tonight and see if he's been out today, but it looks like North Wales sounds like a better option.

Cheers all.

bigphil · February 03, 2006, 05:14:46 pm

The sqaure boulder atv Baslow on the top was moist today except for about 4 holds that didn't go all the way to the top and the trackside boulder at Curber was mostly fine. If it doesn't rain or get too foggy tonight the weekend should be good. Forecast of dry but overcast.

Fiend · February 04, 2006, 05:25:40 pm

Higgar Tor was gash as a greasy gaping gash today, can't remember such festeration. Burbage North looked similarly shit. Rivelin Quarries were considerably better but a bit damp, dunno about Rivelin Edge itself.

The Foundry was dry :shock:

fatboySlimfast · February 04, 2006, 06:17:07 pm

Plantation shite.....
minus ten dry, kudos wall dry :roll:

Fiend · February 04, 2006, 08:09:46 pm

Hmmmm. Maybe should have tried for some routes shizzle at Stoney, but it didn't seem inspiring when we were out there...
