Title: Anyone been to the Chew recently?
Post by: Drew on June 23, 2009, 08:35:08 pm

Just wondering how the routes were looking at Wimberry, Dovestones, and Ravenstones. I expect a little greenness, but was hoping they'd be dry at least?

Standing Stones were fine when I went there back in April, I'd imagine they've not changed much.

I have, this morning, most if not all stuff will be dry at the moment

take a brush though if you are thinking of any difficult mountain routes or losing 3 points of contact as the crags tend to wear their verdant coats even during the summer
