Seepage is better now the wall is gone, so 2-3 days may do you. As long as it doesn't rain again.

Does anyone know if it was in decent nick today? Hopefully going for a first ever visit tomorrow morning! Preparing to get the full on shutdown, haven't got word or excel installed, so had to crudely write down a few problems on a bit of paper and hope the lines are obvious at the crag when I get there. If anyone with some knowledge is intending to go there let me know! Cheers.

Would join you but i am off to Font

Should be fine by time you get there tomorrow. Had a few days drying now.

Have fun.

Can anyone confirm conditions? It's traditional to get totally boxed on Boxing day - and Longridge never fails to deliver.

Thanks very much!

Was a bit confused with the Delta Force me and Matt tried, we worked out a sequence and linked it into the last move of Fertile Delta before greasing off and thought it might be a bit soft unless we started too far left?

We were pulling on left hand sidepull, right hand on edge (That CD has his left hand on in photo). Getting matched on the next edge that he is eyeing up in said photo, then right hand gastoning the left side of pinch, left hand to smaller crimp above then right hand into pocket as a mono to leave room for a left hand 2 fingers, right hand out to crimp and then get all of left hand in the pocket, then finish as for the standup.

Are you meant to start left hand where Chris's hand is and right hand wide on something poor, before bumping right hand up again to where it is in the photo and then going left hand to edge, then again to the pinch?

Hope this makes sense! Very nice moves the way we were trying, it must be said $:-\$

Pretty good conditions today, only a few areas of seepage in the cracks. Most things will be do-able.

GCW · January 05, 2009, 02:11:26 pm

Pretty mint today

Was planning on hitting Longridge today, but it's drizzling in Bolton. Any idea if it might still be dry up there?

Drizzle here as well. Bits might be dry but it will be pretty grim! GEt to BoulderUK or West View.

r-man · January 07, 2009, 12:33:16 pm

Doh. Cheers for the heads up, Adam. Boulder UK it is.

Shame, as I'd just watched your video and was psyched for Colon Power. Looks great.

GCW · January 07, 2009, 07:11:59 pm

went there this morning on the way home. the drizzle wasn't an issue, but the cloying mist/cloud/fog has soaked the crag. On the up side, it should dry quite quick once the skies clear.

Tim Broughtonshaw · January 09, 2009, 06:17:23 pm

hows longridge? dry for tomorrow?

GCW · January 09, 2009, 06:54:59 pm

Dropped in this morning, generally better but still damp and greasy.
It's likely to be misty early hours, in which case I think it'll be pretty poor conditions. If it happens to be a clear night and morning with a breeze you may just be lucky.

GCW · February 06, 2009, 10:05:44 pm

Not bad today. Slight seepage in the usual spots, but generally dry. Tomorrow should be good conditions.

meatball · February 16, 2009, 06:51:04 pm

Has anyone been over the weekend? Or locals have an idea what state it will be in? Cheers

GCW · February 16, 2009, 07:13:35 pm

Went on Saturday, got rained on- it got quite wet quite quickly. And it's rained yesterday too.
If it stays dry tomorrow it may be OK-ish.

Serpico · February 18, 2009, 04:53:56 pm

Went today about 2pm and there wasn't an inch of dry rock to be had. The roads were dry but the crag was soaked

GCW · February 18, 2009, 05:31:17 pm

I can report that at 17:00 today it's still all wet, with loads of seepage. Wish I'd seen your post Serps.

Going to take a good couple of drying days for anything to be in conditions.

Serpico · February 21, 2009, 08:25:30 pm

Anybody been today?

GCW · February 21, 2009, 08:37:19 pm

I drove through Longridge but didn't stop there. It was damp on the ground so I wouldn't be too hopeful until another day of dry weather. May be OK later tomorrow in places, depends on the stupid morning fog we get.
