Title: High Tor
Post by: Paul B on July 16, 2010, 09:03:32 pm: Has anybody got the knowledge on how High Tor will be handling the recent rain in terms of seepage etc. ?

I take it the windy aspect makes it quite good for the odd shower but I'd say we've had more than that today!

As you said it catches the wind and can be pretty chilly if hanging about on stances, that said at this time of year once the suns round (about 1ish I think) and if there is little breeze it will be blisteringly hot.

Thanks. Jon

Tomorrows forecast (and Sat) looks good, so likely you'd be fine.
