Blood hell that was quick. I even got beaten on my own trumpet blowing post! It's called Cheeks 'N' Beaks

Apologies, was browsing flickr whilst bored at work and saw the pics for beastmaker inc.'s stream.

No apologies needed. I'm a bit slow on posting things now we have strict internet policies at work.

We moved from place to place on the backs of our wing-ed steads obviously

Steads... related to  steeds ?

Thinking of heading upto Burbage tomorrow early morning, is it a bit of a gamble after all the rain in Sheffield this afternoon? Im a bit weak on predicting conditions but the forecast looks cracking. Cheers

Very wet here this evening, could be in for some wierd verglas scene if it does freeze. Burbage west takes less drainage and gets the morning sun so might be a better bet. I'd expect most of the exposed edges will be dry by the afternnon though.

Very frosty over the top of Burbage this morning, not much sun over in the peak either. Might well be OK later on, but I wouldn’t rush out. Burbage West looked reasonably dry, but I was mainly concentrating on the slippy road!

Went to Plantation this evening. Was as grippy as a grippy thing! Failed on everything I wanted to do, but that's more to do with my lack of ability! There might be quite a lot of frost around tomorrow. The ground was frozen solid everywhere! Also the road down was pretty treacherous!

Word did anyone get out today?  Thinking about heading down tomorrow and was wondering how dry it is down there? Mainly interested in the Plantation and Burb W.

Was snowing very lightly this morning which has left a very thin layer of snow on a lot of the holds and top-outs at the plantation - wasn't too bad if you knocked it off with a towel first, but some bits were quite damp. Not much better at Burbage west, but everything is climbable.

i'll be out 14:00 ish at apparent north... hoping waiting will give drier holds!

i'll take some light (1000 lumens of LED should suffice!)

No, I've been at work. Looks wonderful though, we barely had a 1/2" of snow in Hangingwater. With the ground as hard frozen as it was yesterday it could hang around.
