Title: Carrock: fast drying/perma dry bits?
Post by: tomtom on November 23, 2019, 07:38:35 pm: On hols 15 min away from carrock - and despite it not raining after about 1 and there being a gentle easterly - the air seems so damp most stuff looked wet about 3:30 today. I’m not that confident anything will dry for tomorrow morning - but where are the bits that are first to be dry? Or any perma/fairly often dry bits?

I’d have assumed most dries fast - esp the isolated boulders that take no runoff. But even those were plastered with wet over the tops...

Clutching at straws etc...

I'm down in the Lakes for a week from next Friday. How grim is the backen at Carrock at the moment? I've got unfinished business on Sing a Rainbow from the last holiday down there but fear the approach could be horrible at this time of year.

No, down near Coniston with the in-laws. Carrock Fell isn't exactly the most local venue to where we'll be but I'm just lining up all my options.
