heading down wednesday, anyone goes between now and then a conditions report would be much appreciated.

I hope this is in time for you Jim. Was there last night and it was in very good condition. Nice drying and cooling breeze, but not stupidly cold yet. Very little seepage so far, but I reckon there could be more very soon. Only significant damp hold was the juggy edge on Lou Ferrino, but it was dryable. Lovely evening actually, the Little Orme looked beautiful in the evening sunshine.

nice one, thanks

BenF · September 15, 2010, 10:51:14 am

Would you give a return report tonight please. Just to keep the seepage status updated during this rain. Thanks.

Jim · September 15, 2010, 09:22:54 pm

would love to repay the favour but I ended up going to the cliff to meet dylog on the promise of dry rock and a blow-job.
He came through with the dry rock (amazingly) but not the bj

BenF · September 16, 2010, 12:14:53 pm

No blow job? What a selfish git.

Does anyone have an up to date report on the seepage situation?
I'm most interested in rock attrocity.cheers

Rock Atrocity was looking all good yesterday, as was most of the cave

Thanks.

It seems that the weekend's rain had an effect. My sources reported that much of the Cave was rather damp yesterday (LF, RA, low start to CB etc too wet to climb). Anyone been down today and noticed any improvement?

Thanks.

Didn't go but the Ormes looked minging in general yesterday. Today was a fresher day

BenF · September 21, 2010, 07:52:13 am

Likewise, today is dawning and it seems to be a lovely fresh day again. The birds are singing and all is good in the world. Well, to a certain extend anyway.

joeisidle · September 21, 2010, 05:22:08 pm

How was it today, have all the singing birds caused to seepage to receed?

The singing birds did the trick to a certain extent. Much drier yesterday (Tuesday), only really bits of LF that were wet, although there are damp patches on the right wall but nothing to get too worked up about. However, the singing birds had too great an effect and caused it to be too warm and windless so it was really quite sweaty in there (the sea was like a millpond). Plus, I forgot to take my arms or any semblance of ability so felt like shite and went elsewhere after an hour or so.

Was seemingly a greasefest on all NW lime then yesterday. Ming.

Let's know when you're heading out Ben, be nice to catch up. Either that or when you're sitting still at home for a bit.

That doesn't happen. I was however wondering aloud the other day whether you'd be keen to come and see Sven Vath at the Warehouse project in December. Not going to go to many of the WP things this year, but a few of us fancy that Cocoon night in particular. 10th December I think: http://www.thewarehouseproject.com/line_ups.php

Ben have you got a new wave of enthusiasm for the cave? i thought you weren't keen on the place!

Monolith · September 22, 2010, 01:45:31 pm

I'll have to see how uni/job is going around that time man but I saw yesterday Sven is in Liverpool at Circus soon. Different setup I know but worth knowing perhaps. I'll holla this week mate.

Chris I am a born again Cave devotee. Made a decision to work my weaknesses big time. This is the year I get strong...

petejh · September 23, 2010, 07:45:13 pm

Surprisingly good this evening. Cave Life, LWT, RA all dry. LWH has a few holds seeping. LF and other stuff on that side looked ok but there's a few damp spots, I didn't look very closely. Pissing it down on and off all afternoon.

Richie Crouch · September 28, 2010, 10:56:38 am

Have managed to get a day off after having to work 3 days in a row, so wondering what the conditions are like at the moment? Not been since July so I'm expecting a major shutdown

Let's hope so.

kippa · October 22, 2010, 02:46:53 pm

Anyone been down in the last few days?i was wondering if rock atrocity was still dry.

JohnM · October 22, 2010, 03:02:07 pm

Mint conditions yesterday, Rock Attrocity was bone dry!
