Monday is full moon i think, like the classic Duran Duran song.

At the risk of outing myself as having the worst music taste in the world, and also being the biggest pedant, wasn't it New Moon on Monday?

[SA Chris]

You are totally right, woe is me.

5 pages of tripe. The grit was first called around the turn of the 20th century, and it has been grit season ever since. Something this good can never have an off season. Unlike the lime......

[robertostallioni]

Sorry to disappoint, but 'The Grit' was called 8 hours ago and counting.

[Percy B]

Sweet Jesus......

[Sloper]

what tugmonkeys

[Will Hunt]

I confirm the calling. Felt good today. Back to Ilkley to finish Nearly Pleasant now I think.

When I first walked out the house this morning there was a good nip in the air, a strong breeze "surely it will be called" I thought to myself.
Man it was warm. Far too warm. There's often a chill in the air if you get up early enough in summer. I think JB has done the right thing in restraining from making the call. Obviously takes a man of that experience and calibre to not buckle under such pressure.

I am on my hols for 2 weeks in december with my family and my climbing partners family in matlock. I feel like a excited little boy already. I have a list of what i'd like to do in my head....

[robertostallioni]

As long as it doesn't include his mum.     




    or dad.

Went to Cratcliffe on Saturday morning and conditions felt pretty good to me as wind cept things cool, - but i havent been on gritstone for nearly 2 years now so im probably miles off on what is called 'good conditions' these days...

[abarro81]

The tor's still dry, crag x is still dry and the undercuts in Tom's roof are still dry... Christ, even kilnsey's supposed to be still dry. No nasty grit just yet please.

[Jim]

stay off polishing our grit then! 

5 degrees this morning on the way back from work and the snowflake symbol (ice warning)
Its the season, happy hunting

[The Sausage]

Was as mint as anything yesterday morning up at Left end of Stanage.

[SA Chris]

First snows on the Ben, if that is in any way indicative.

[priscilla wimbush]

Christ, even kilnsey's supposed to be still dry. No nasty grit just yet please.

But the best grit is on the way to or home from Kilnsey, can't people enjoy both in a day? - I reckon we should call this a dual year, conditions are mint on both rock types at different times of the same day.

[lagerstarfish]

Burbage North was a bit warm and midgey (not many) this afternoon. On the other hand; we have turned the central heating on for the first time this season and I have had two consecutive days on grit.

 

[a dense loner]

all this is pure conjecture, the grit is not called till johnny calls it, its been agreed. people may have had a good day here and there, but thats all they've been

[lagerstarfish]

yeah, but we can try to tempt him out of the box with a few tasty treats

[a dense loner]

he fell off west side last week, nothings been called and he's been hell

[Andy F]

Christ, even kilnsey's supposed to be still dry.

No, Kilnsey is still very dry. The grit can wait a while, the true mistress is still calling.
