[Jim]

seeing as its been dry for a few days, going to risk going up to earl. Anyone else about?

[dobbin]

I've never been to earl. Its not that far from work. When would you be there and have you got a spare pad?

[nik at work]

Possibly later on, although still a bit battered from the weekend. When will you be there?

[Jim]

from about half 1 ish

[SA Chris]

still a bit battered from the weekend.

Been in the chip pan again?

[nik at work]

I'll see if I can get away, but it's probably going to be more like 2:00-2:30 for me.

Dobbin why do you need a spare mat? Do you refuse to use the same mat as everyone else for some reason? I have a spare mat but it's a shit old tiny thin metolius, you're welcome to use it. Of course I'll have to move my new thick DMM highball out from under the problems for your attempt.....

[dobbin]

Well because I will flash all the really hard problems and then need my own pad to wander off and do the even harder ones whilst you lot are sessioning the 1 and 2a's...

Is a good point. I hadnt considered that we would go round together. How is the walk in? I have only flip flops in the car. Nearly bought the rubicon wellies too. Dammit!

I would be much later - like 4 probably. Have any of you got to be back home early?

[galpinos]

I'd be keen to head up if you don't mind a randomer tagging along? I'm not exactly great (up to 7a) but am keen.

Based in south Manchester if anyone wants a lift/share the drive.

[nik at work]

Need to be home for 8ish, so no not really. But have a limited window of freedom. Probably better for me to be a bit later to be honest so I could aim to get there for 3:00-3:30 instead. How about you Jim?

Walk in is pretty easy. You only have flip-flops? Do you work barefoot? You are a very strange man it seems....

The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned. What time you thinking?

The latter statement is certainly true (that I am strange), I am not barefoot, I have my work shoes on but didnt fancy tromping through mud and shite in them you see. I once walked to Cheedale Cornice through the mud in flip flops and think perhaps its given me nightmares. Anyway, once again I am talking zee sheet. I have just spoken to Jim on what must be the worlds worst car phone and have agreed to burn them off meet them up there at about 4 (may even be a bit before). He and follicle are on the way now.

Dob snapped on his way to work.

[Adam Lincoln]

Just so you know, its raining in Preston, which is 45 mins fom Earl, and i suspect the weather there will be worse.

[dobbin]

Oh. I will text follicle to find out what its like. Dammit! if only the school were open I would have none of these worries

[nik at work]

Keep us all posted Dobbin. Dry but overcast here in Tod....

[Johnny Brown]

At the risk of telling y'all to suck eggs, can I suggest the Met Office's rainfall radar might be of use?

[dobbin]

I am on there now and it looks like its raining over adam lincoln (he isnt marked on the map, I just know where he is. Imagine a metoffice marauders map showing the location of UKB posters?) but not inland. Jim texted and says its fine - nice breeze blowing over the top and cool. Keep your eyes peeled for a naked man with only flip flops on

[nik at work]

I'll be there for 3-ish. I'll be the short scruffy one with a dog. Controversially I will probably be wearing clothes (sorry Dobbin).
Guess I'll see (too much of) you later.

[Zods Beard]

Looked like I picked a great week to join the 9-5 crew. Shit.

[galpinos]

Didn't have time in the end so had a quick session at Wimberry. 2 split tips but good fun.

Was Earl in good nick?

Dunno, but was Wimberry?

[saltbeef]

do rain and midges constitute good nick?

[Jim]

none the less we had some good conditions to begin with and we had a good laugh which is the important thing.
And we all burnt saltbeef off on a 6b+ 

[saltbeef]

what can i say... I'm a monster.
shit conditions, good company.

[nik at work]

Although the dog was a bit concerned by Dobbins feral regression....
