Thinking of heading up tomorrow... I know conditions are pretty changable at the moment (rain or not, condensation or not).. but wondered if there were any local reports/rumours/guesswork of how the Silverdale area Lime is at the moment (Woodwell, Trowbazza and other spots..)??
Thanks in advance,
TT

How's it all looking over that way, anyone been of late?

[georgenorth]

Not been lately but should be fine. The lime round here is pretty dry at the moment.

[r-man]

Heard it was all dry last weekend.

Hoping to head here tomorrow, has anybody been recently? The weather here has been wet has Lancashire suffered the same sort of weather?

[tomtom]

Any reports on Woodwell connies? (Toms roof bit..) Suspect its OK, but just thought I'd check with the Oracles..

[tomtom]

All good today. Some runoff from the rain this morning - but that dried/was drying fast in the wind. No seepage that I could see at all. Nice connies actually...

[tomtom]

Mixed bag today - some seepage after the heavy rain.

The LH side of Toms was OK (Closer and all left of it was 95% fine) and the main holds on screaming were just OK. Most to the right of that was gopping (apart from the easy jug things on the right). There was no wind there and it was drying slowly... no idea about the rest or Oert Road so make your own call based on the above!

[tomtom]

Any reports from tues or weds? Pondering a punt up the M6...

[tomtom]

Toms was all good today. A couple of wee seepage spots but nothing serious. Didn't look at the rest.

[tomtom]

Its now rather wet... the view at 12:45 from under the roof of Not Bad Dave...

[tomtom]

Any news on how Woodwell is after this weeks rain? Thinking of rh (not bad Dave etc..) end..

[tomtom]

It was all good today btw.

[tomtom]

Thinking of heading up in 1/2 hour so.. anyone know or care to hazzard a educated (or not) guess about connies?
I'll take anything more sophisticated than seaweed based predictions...

[thekettle]

I was just down the road at Cringlebarrow/Cringlesport this morning - bone dry with zero seepage and a good breeze. Drizzled from lunchtime but should be good again for Friday (assuming forecast rain/wind arrives tomorrow).

[tomtom]

Thanks - I went in the end yesterday and it was all good. Forgot to post up :-/

I almost joined you but stopped at Carrock fell rather than risking it. Does anyone know how late in the year woodwell remains climbable?

[andy_e]

I've climbed there on New Year's Day... That was probably a fluke.

[GCW]

It is climbable all year round, depending on preceding weather and seepage levels.  I've often gone between October and February.

[tomtom]

I've been in Nov and Dec before... Probably heading up on Sat or Sun (most likely Sun..)

[rodma]

Good knowledge there lads. Thanks for that 

[tomtom]

Good knowledge there lads. Thanks for that 

Shelterstone dries super fast if all else fails (climbed there over Xmas a couple of times..)

After the rain we've had this week there are some seeps at Tom's buttress, Not Bad Dave area is dry bar the start of Not Bad Nige and Kiss of the Dragon and the buttresses in between (wareing thin, westons wall, etc.) are dry. Didn't go to o'ert road but I imagine lines such as angel deelite will be dry but the crack will most likely be wet.

[tomtom]

As of noon today (sat) not bad Dave area all pretty dry. Seepage on bits of oert road, back wall pretty wet in places. Pic to help for those who need more detail. Overall pretty good. A fair bit of clearance work around the Dave area - not quite as private as it once was..

[Doylo]

Anyone been Toms?
