Stuff will be dry. Not sure if its worth a trip from Manchester though. If its dry Sunday, i'd wait till then to be sure.

cheers mate, if you could give a heads up on saturday evening regarding the amount of rain on saturday that would be sufficient to decide about going sunday?

Not really done anything there before so i've got everything to do.

Cheers
Tim

I might give it a shot tomorrow.
Check before you go.
Also:

Currently not working, but generally gets fixed pretty quickly.

Anyone been recently? Is it likely to be dry tomorrow? I'm particularly interested in Big Marine.

Its seeping from every orifice as of this morning. Couldn't see one route without a wet hold on it.

Its drying out but still quite a lot of seeping holds and wet patches particularly Big Marine end and lot of the top holds still wet in general.

All the traverses are dry from the start to the high break apart from a couple of wet footholds beneath the wobble block. Low life traverse is bone as is Ascent and Descent of Man.

Anyone been this week? Was thinking of heading down this afternoon and was just wondering if there was much seepage?

I'm thinking of chancing it later. It's rained overnight in Bolton but looks to be clearing up in Preston:

A bit of sun on the crag might sort it.

Just drove home from West View and it's drizzled a few times.  Sun is out now though.

yesterday lunch their was a little seepage in the lower part, the main issue was water dripping from the top of the crag.  It was still OK for having a session on.

Since it hasn't rained since, I'd go for it.

Top brake will be suffering and a few seeps elsewhere, but its had a really good dry out last few weeks so it should be good now for the rest of the season, unless its properly banging down for a couple of days.

and what G said above  :)
