All seemed fine there this morning/lunchtime... I only wandered down to Toms (not Oert Road) but what I saw was primo.

Lumped in here as it didnt seem worth starting a new thread - but how fast does Farleton dry?

I'm guessing the exposed blank vertical(ish) face parts should dry pretty fast and be fairly seep free? Thinking of heading up there this morning and wanted to avoid a null trip if it suffers post rain...

[tomtom]

It's fine (Farleton) now I'm here.

[andy_e]

Any recent conditions knowledge?

[andy_e]

Yes, everything is dry. A little clammy today but things were probably as dry as I've ever seen them!

[gardinrm]

Planning to drop in on the way back south, anyone know how the conditions are at the moment.

Fraid not - but if you go could you post up how it is? THikning of a weekend visit... Cheers TT

[andy_e]

Yeah, what he said.

When we got there at about 12 it was soaked, but in due course it dried and we got a bit of climbing done. Managed to climb that closer problem, but got shut down by screaming slaves. Grades seem hard! As of now conditions will be good, but i think rain is forecast so i'm not sure how it will be the next few days. Hope that helps.

Just wait until you manage to climb something, it'll get a downgrade tout suite 

[andy_e]

Nah, that's just you GC... Cheers for the update!

[GCW]

I feel special, Oh so special!!   

[tomtom]

Was all good today. (I didnt check oert road..)

[Richie Crouch]

Anyone know if middle and o'ert road are in good nick? Thinking of heading over in an hour or so.

[davej]

Hi Rich  I'm based in south lakes rained a bit yesterday sunny at the moment

[Richie Crouch]

Pretty bone dry at o'ert road. Some minor dampness at Middle but most things fine. Hopefully it won't be heavy rain all the way through till Saturday.

[tomtom]

Hoping to get up there this weekend some time (Sat or sunday) but was wondering if there was any local knowledge of how it might have fared up with this weeks rain? Mind you the forecast looks (ahem) mixed :-/

Suspect its going to be one of those weekends trying to figure out where will be dry or drying....

[joe dobson]

the way its raining here now in preston and over the past few days, I'd say soaked! But some stuff may be dry. Fairy steps was bone dry monday though.

That's what I feared. add humid and warm to the mix and it's not an ideal lime recipe..

Bugger. Plan b.. Or c..

[Richie Crouch]

Me and Donnelly were going to risk o'ert road this morning, so I'll go give a report

[tomtom]

Cheers Richie. Hope it's alright for yers.. T

[tomtom]

At Woodwell. It's wet. Soaking. Toms all gopping - dripping wet under all the roofs. Rh side soaking too. Very disappointed

[Richie Crouch]

O'ert road was good for about 15 mins whilst we warmed up and then it condensed out as the temps gradually increased with zero wind

[GCW]

Pissing down now.

I got there about 2 - and it looked like there had just been a small shower as well... I went up to Newbiggin - as I figured whatever wind there was would be up there - but it was shit there too... I probably could have got a couple of 5+ dryish things, but all enthusiasm had been sapped by that point so I gave up.

I was treated to some incredible lightening on the way home past Bolton....

Annoying day though - conditions at the moment are too humid/damp for lime, but too warm and sticky for grit. Nothings working! I have a free day tomorrow - but god knows what'll be in... apart from plastic
