Anyone know how the woodwell/warton/fairy steps/trowbarrow lime is looking now that we've had a dry week?

Is it likely to go, or has it already gone damp for the winter?

[AdamD]

Does anyone know if it's dry at the moment?

[AdamD]

Any reports on the conditions at Woodwell?

[joe dobson]

all dry at the mo, some holds slightly damp and greasy though.

Posted here - even though its not conditions as it didnt seem to merit its own thread... but...

Having explored Farleton/Newbiggin in the last few weeks I'm developing a tasted for SLakes lime and it makes sense to check out Woodwell some time. I was wondering if any regulars have any recommendations for good problems to get stuck into? In the 7A-B range?

Also - (very important at the moment!) is it shaded? (looks so from the piccies)

Thanks in advance TT

Go the middle sector and you can enjoy shade as well as lots of decent 7a to 7b's. Woodwell o'ert has some good steeper stuff into a head wall, which is good when out of the sun.

the main buttress has loads of 7a-7b routes, partly shady during the day and you can always retreat to the shade to escape the sun while resting.

Further down there's tom's buttress which has loads of great 6c-7a vert routes and Anna even further down which is a good pumpy 7b. O'ert road is generally not in direct sun light.

And as Richie said the middle sector is covered in trees, I particularly like Wearing Thin which is a good technical (slithgly highball) 7A with and ok(ish) landing when you have lots of pads.

Just remembered I was keen to go and try do butternut squash. I am assuming o'ert road is bone dry even in the cracks by now?

[GCW]

That's what I have been told.  Get to it.

[joe dobson]

Be surprised if they weren't, if they were not dry now I don't know when they would be!

[tomtom]

Didn't go over the road, but was bone dry everywhere on the regular side today..

Aha, i thought that the weird curly guy might have been tomtom. Saw you at Tom's buttress yesterday.

O'ert road bone dry, but please don't go there if your sole purpose is crushinator. There are wrens nesting at the finish holds at the break. My goodness baby wrens are tiiiiiiiny

[tomtom]

That was me making simple things look complicated Hope you had a good session - I need to get back there, plenty of unfinished business...

'Weird curly guy'! That's brilliant.

He could have meant you of course

Was up at both not over the road and over tonight. Very bone dry. Some weird conditions though, humid and greasy in places and some sticky damp going on. Also warm humid and windless and no midges  . Made for a creepy atmosphere, no birds tweeting not a sound anywhere, heavy

knew i was thinking "weird" (in a good way, like actually seeming to enjoy lowball problems with rules), but wasn't even conscious of typing it.

No worries as Andy implied a very apt description

Just been again this morning. Got spanked again. Still in fine nic, though felt a bit more sticky/clammy than Saturday.. a little slimey under hand at times...

[punkpunk]

Anyone been since the thunder storms?

[tomtom]

Anyone been since the thunder storms?

Yeah - I'd like to know that too - was thinking of getting there tomorrow AM...

[Richie Crouch]

Really hoping o'ert road doesn't seep through by Friday or condense! If anyone is there today or tomorrow, an update would be gratefully received

I'm not going there this AM (I saw the forecast last night) so no report from me today.. sorry.

[punkpunk]

Ye I bailed too I'm afraid

[tomtom]

Heading there later on this morning - if its log could someone post here? Save me a longish journey...
