Thanks Moo, much appreciated.  I don't suppose you've been over a certain road lately have you?

Yeah, it ain't ideal at the moment.  This current humidity makes those sheltered venues rather unpleasant.

Me dragging this thread back up again,

Has anyone been out there lately and is it all starting to dry out properly again then?  Thanks.

Thanks Mike.  I don't suppose you could take a hair dryer down with you next time could you?  Might help sort it out.

I must be sad, here I am replying to myself...


Anyway, just in case anyone's interested, it was all pretty much dry today (tuesday).  Tom's Roof was only a little sticky under AoSD and the start of Beauty of Being Numb.  The righthand section was in good condition too and although I then went up to Farleton and didn't go over the road I was reliably informed that it is nearly all dry (just damp along the bottom break but still climbable apparently).

I was at "the crag that shall not be spoken of by name" yesterday (for only the fourth time this summer!) and it was as dry as sun dried, salted cinnamon stick. There was even a pleasant breeze.

Just slap one of the 25 remaining characters from the alphabet after 'Crag'. Looking forward to the exhaustion of our Latin alphabet.

Watch out for such future Cyrillic classic crags as

Crag ф
Crag ж
Crag щ
and don't forget the uber classic Crag ю

Sadly I feel that due to the encoding on many of your computers, you unfortunates will miss out on this poor, nonsensical and meandering drivel.

Be envious of the chinese - they can have up to 47035 secret access-restricted crags and still not run out of characters.

On the other hand in wales you are stuck with Crag W, Crag L, Crag L, Crag L, Crag L, Crag Y, Crag W, Crag W, Crag L, Crag L.....

There must be crazy conditions at toms roof, the bramble bushes are growing bananas, well the skins at least. There is a bin in the car park, so please us it. Same for the mountain of tape.

But on a lighter note there was a good breeze tonight but the holds are a bit clammy. Art of... wont take long to dry so will be seeing owen in the near future again i reckon.

Thinking of a first time visit to woodwell tomorrow, but it surely is quite a trek so any conditions type reports would be greatly appreciated. Also can I take my dog?

...or when Richie Crouch and Monolith have been greasing around on the crimps.  Just ask Greg for his opinion.

By the sounds of it the Churnet will have got the grease hit recently, reducing the cursing across the south lakes, this week.

Yeah I understand that the Churnet had a visit from the greasy, cursing crew.  They then made a cursory (see what I did there?) return visit the to the Pit (Ogwen) to swear at the grease laden crimps found within.  Plenty of swearing, plenty of grease, plenty of campusing but no cigars.

Do you want that knackered, Motel carcinogen laden, dog odour ridden pad of yours back or what?


I have a suspicion that I know the answer.

Back on track...

Anyone been out around Silverdale lately?  If so, what's the state of Tom's Roof and that other place that you may have to cross tarmac to get to like at the moment?

Many thanks.

Was thinking of going to woodwell tonight but pissed it down in lancaster all last night and day before. Roads wet, this morning and dark clouds looming! Don't think it drys out that quickly. Especially the starting holds on Toms buttress. I think i'll be going to the wall! piss poor!
