The thought of a life of chocolate fountains and biscuits sounds very atractive I must say!   :clap2:

Aren't Lime Callers like bearers of The Ring, and sail away to the Undying Lands at the end of their quest?

Another season has come and past
who knows how long this one will last
So go! Get out!
And don't you pout
For sun is shining
And the lime is calling.
Now get to the tor
And climb indoors no more.

Having been at the Tor today and with upcoming good weather I think this is good call. However, I am disturbed that Hayden called it on Facebook first, and am worried that the supernatural spirits of the Peak will somehow need to be  appeased.

HOLD THE FUCK ON. You can't call the lime before the clocks have gone forwards. This is basic stuff.

I was thinking that should be a rule, written or otherwise.

So obviously going to end up with another farce. Had such high hopes for Hayden too. On the other hand if it means less folk on the scrittle this weekend, go for it!

Another rule, written or otherwise, should be that there are actually some dry routes to attempt.

You made Hayden the lime caller when he feels no season's end nor it's start. You reap what you sow, a wet cornice upon all your houses!

It's a bold call but I hope it's warranted. The long range forecast looks good so let's hope the lime holds out!

Everyone's a backseat lime caller.

As far as I understand, Yorkshire is still fucked. Down with the false prophet!

I caught three carp whilst fly fishing for trout this evening

carp know more than UKB and the Met Office combined

this is a good omen for fans of white rock that isn't seeping

I think this is a bold and brave lime calling.

 I am however appalled that Ukb wasn't the first port of call to make the announcement.

Shambles calling as ever. The crimp budgies have doomed themselves again for another season, heavens be praised.

I just had my best weekend ever on pristine, dry limestone. I have faith in the call.

the whole calling on facebook first was due to the reception race at malham and i guess facebook won over ukb. they were both posted at the same time :).

the season has most definitely started was rammed at the tor today people having to park round the corner!
