Hong Kong is bone dry, low humidity and a rather pleasant 25 degrees....

Enjoy the winter

Raven tor was bone dry yesterday, HOWEVER!!!!! by the time I had left wet streaks were down to the first bolts of out of my tree area, somebody was managing to do most of Body Machine, someone else was doing Sardine but getting damp at top. So some stuff was dry

forecast looks generally okay for saturday onwards - how badly does the Bowdertone seep onto its holds?  Would a sunday visit be worthwhile if it's fine all saturday?

Across to visit the in-laws this weekend which means I can get across to Snowdonia tomorrow. Is it going to be worth it or is everything wet? Be grateful for any eye-witness accounts.

Bowderizer will be pissing, but the ladder face and the back should be dry id have thought?  Unless the monster winds have blown rain onto it sideways? :-\

Tom's woody will most definately be dry, chappers, and its better than BUK!  Thats assuming the barn its in hasnt been sold yet!? ???


Surely Woodwell is the only place you should be considering??  The venue of champions.  You do realise thats where we'll be spending every day when i come up in a few weeks, dont you? Good

Had to sack off our planned trip to ansteys today due to the weather... and im sure the pocket on cider soak will be seeping by next week-  Damn it!

Mark, the forecast for Saturday is good for Llanberis. There has been some rain today, but most places are pretty quick to dry at this time of year.

A man of your skills should head to the Cromlech for some of this action:

http://www.northwalesbouldering.com/newsitem.asp?nsid=200

http://www.northwalesbouldering.com/newsitem.asp?nsid=204

Parisella's was completely dry earlier in the week, I'm sure it will be okay too, and if you can face the drive, Porth Ysgo would be great tommorrow.

If I wake up tommorrow and my shoulder is not hurting (like it is at the moment) I'll be heading up the Pass at some point for an hour or two. Give me a call.

Excellent, all those problems look really good. They also look really long. 24 hand moves? That's about as many as I manage in a whole winter!

Ysgo's probably too far as I'll be coming from Deeside. I'll give you a shout tomorrow and see if you're out and about. Be good to see you again.
