It was better than I thought it would be, a lot of the lower holds where wet. If it has stayed dry overnight it might be ok.

Dont bother for at least a few days of dry weather. Seeping badly today.

Who's been getting excited with there chalk balls? The area around big marine and sit starts etc, was absolutely coated today. A good circular foot around the crimps and probably more around the pinch/sloper. No where near the holds and pointless. Ive brushed some of it off. But flippin eck take it easy who ever it maybe.  ???

Mostly dry - only a little bit of seepage around Bend and at the top of 7a.

Does anyone else think that the problem of 'relieving ones bladder' is now a bit of an issue here. Cause i noticed most people inc myself have been pissing at the bottom of problems in an attempt to not flash to the local residents. The far end is also out of bounds, i think as the last 2 houses have families/small kids. So dunno, does anyone else who uses the place think its a prob and whats the answer??
I guess it does add a bit of incentive to nailing the new sit starts tho.

I went over the road where there was a convenient hedge beyond the pile of rubble. Wasn't really too much effort to avoid pissing on the start of the problems...

As you say though, there were kids running about in one of the gardens when I was there so it seemed kind of inappropriate to do anything else!

Conditions not too bad yesterday by the way, especially considering the quantity of rain recently. Apart from the usual grease on a few holds (do they ever de-grease??) the friction was decent.

So how weather-proof is C-Y-L then?
Got a couple of weeks left of my current contract in Blackburn and now the daylight-after-work issue is sorted had been hoping to get up for a look at Big Marine/Fertile Delta/In Excess sitter before i leave.
Do these problems suffer from seepage much?

Big Marine finishing jug and last gaston can get seepage.  Generally after a few days of dry weather the seeps settle, and once dry it won't seep for a couple of days of light rain.

I hear it can be a bit damp at the base of some problems  :P

I was there yesterday evening and it was totally dry Andy. Take your duvet jacket though - the wind blowing along the crag was pretty chilly!

Cheers. I was planning to wrap up warm anyway.
