It was dry saturday afternoon, little or no seepage on anything.........Then the rains set in.

Davo · September 21, 2010, 08:08:31 pm

Mostly wet there today...

Still pretty damp there. Back sections of roof all pretty bad.

And you keep going back for more!

Surprisingly all areas were bone dry. Friction was pretty good. Brucie bonus

Has anyone been up to woodwell recently?

Or is it completely the wrong time of year to climb there?

Thanks

It was pretty dry a week back, but it's rained a lot since.

Was thinking of going up Saturday but with a bit of rain forecast for Wed and Thurs with friday and saturday dry do you reckon it'd be a bit of a long shot?

I know I could just risk it (and stop asking stupid questions) but it's an hours drive away so I'd prefer to have a vague idea before settin goff!

The way the weather is at the moment I would expect Woodwell to be damp, but if you get a drying day before you go other places may be OK (Trowbarrow/ Warton/ Farleton).

ShortRound · November 17, 2010, 09:32:25 am

OK, Thanks very much for the info.

GCW · December 03, 2010, 05:07:35 pm

Trowbarrow and Woodwell are pretty good, although don't expect to top out on Vitruvian Man.

Obviously as soon as the temp rises everything will be totally soaking. Make the most of the lack of dampness before that happens!

Was there today and it was all dry

. Very little snow about so access is fine. Bloody cold when the sun went down though.

Has anyone been down recently? Going to be in Lancaster over the weekend so planning to head here.
Failing that, does anyone have other suggestions for dry rock if the forecast is accurate?
Cheers

Good nick last week, but it's been showery since.

joe dobson · June 22, 2011, 12:44:42 pm

anybody know what conditions will be like on friday (trowbarrow too seeing how its close)? Its supposed to be sunny thursday so reckon its worth a trip up?

sxrxg · June 22, 2011, 12:50:32 pm

It was fine last saturday with everything dry. With the ground being so dry i would imagine that it won't be seeping yet (i may however be wrong!)

ju13 · June 23, 2011, 07:03:06 pm

I was there last night and the ground under the rock was dry as were all the holds on toms, trowbarrow is abit damp at the mo and with the weather its only gona get worse.

rodma · August 12, 2011, 12:48:13 pm

Am probably going to be in the area tomorrow (Saturday). What are the chances like of any of it being remotely dry?

ju13 · August 12, 2011, 10:20:14 pm

sorry to say, no chance of it being dry, its been pissing it down since wednesday.

rodma · August 16, 2011, 10:00:13 pm

Thanks for the info

saved a wasted detour from the motorway.

yorkshireman · September 18, 2011, 10:09:07 pm

anyone been recently?

GCW · September 19, 2011, 08:11:48 am

Dry and pretty much seepage free last Wed, although it has rained since. Left hold on AOSD has been broken, as was an edge on Il Pirata.

Any idea what this has done to the problems in terms of difficulty. Having literally just moved to Lancaster was keen to have a crack on this!

nik at work · September 19, 2011, 01:13:11 pm

Apparently no change in difficulty but it's now a nicer (i.e. less painful) hold to hold. Although that's third or fourth hand information so...
