It was raining all the while I was there (in the cafe!) from 11am-1pm today, didn't get to the buttress to check seepage though.

Maybe Saturday depending on how early I get up and how much I can be bothered to do a 200 mile round trip!

Anyone been o'ert road recently?
I'm assuming it's probably pretty unfavourable after all the rain but you can never be sure with these places! Particularly interested in the starting undercut of backhand roof. Thanks

I didn't go over the road, but judging by how grim everything else was there today I suspect it'll be no good. Lots of run off and seepage, not many dry holds.

Heading to the lakes for a stag weekend on Friday and was hoping to get some bouldering in on the way up. Given the rain forecast is anything here likely to stay dry?

Shelter stone at Trowbarrow is fast drying - 30 min after rain and many of the main holds don't seep.  It takes red wall a while to wet up too but probably less of interest for you there save the warm ups.. There and woodwell are all so close together that it's only an extra 5-10 min to check if one is wet etc...

'probably less of interest for you there save the warm ups.'  That's a bit harsh

It's OK, I interpreted it other way. TT is obviously of the opinion I'm some sort of wad who other than warming up won't bother with anything other than big numbers  ;)

That's how I meant it :)

Though as polished eliminate style limestone bouldering and traversing red wall is better than Wetherby ;)

The 7A on the left (forgotten it's name) is great.. Even though I've only tickled the final holds.

Dolly was there on Friday and said it was alright.... Of course thats a few days ago....

Humidity might be the problem at the moment - though its close to the coast... if theres a wind it might be fine? Also depends which bit of Woodwell you're interested in... worth bearing in mind that if there is any seepage then the shelterstone at Trowbarrow is super fast drying....

Over the road was bone dry on Sunday. No seepage or splooge anywhere including the very bottom break, I would be very surprised if there wasn't something climbable as I don't think there has been significant rain since (I am based further south so it may have rained more up in the South Lakes...)

Hmm, interesting. We've settled on Kilnsey now, but thanks anyway!
