Nah mate- I was IN the cave (which makes a change- I havn't climbed anywhere else for about a month now!). Although indeed the cave is the place to be as its raining here in N Wales, I may even go there today as I left work early from sickness- had to off load pallets in the county dump, man that place reeks I nearly chucked when I got back to the warehouse. :shock:

When I started ukb, I actually looked into the idea of stashing a webcam in the Peak as a "conditions cam" which would be wicked....but then I saw the awful costs involved  :shock:

One thing that would be quite cool I reckon is:
- set up a forum that was for "current conditions"
- build and mms gateway thingy (lad at work set up a blog that polls for photos sent to a certain email address)
- then, helpful ukb folks could use a camera phone to zap the curent conditions of wherever they are climbing back to the forum.

Another thing to go on the list!

Is that a wired webcam? And presumably that's just for the cam?  I reckon a lot of the problem with one out in the hills is the power source and wireless connection, etc.

I reckon for starters we need one at the Plantation and one in the Pass - any millionaire boulderers out there willing to donate 20k  :wink:

The only other problem is that the Peak Park would no-doubt go ape when you installed a cam up a tree at the plantation, not to mention those who would quite like to aquire such kit for free....

Where's the one you've put in for work?

it's not live til next week but i'll let you know - it's currently in a temp location looking out a window until i can get it sorted on a roof. basically overlooks a main road and construction site. fairly boring really but works a treat.

Yeah!

p.s. if this (THEM! @ Yarncliffe) hasn't gone down to steady V8 by next sping I'll eat my batty. And thats based on trying the problem.

Oh I can't wait to see this. Mmmmmmmm!

Yeah I had cold fingers.

Lets see, you did it in under an hour which makes it V8 in my book. In your face Kershaw.

but he climbs 8a, so if it's V8 he should probably have flashed it. i think it's time you reached for the knife and fork and did the honourable thing.
