Any ideas for a venue for bouldering tomorrow?  Is Yorkshire/ Peak pretty much a waste of a drive?

don't go the way sat nav takes you which cuts out the bend and goes up a steep backroad. Stick to main road and should be fine. We are going Brimham tomorrow to play.

Harmers wood is great - with a good visits worth of 6c > 7b problems (prob many harder I cant get near) and (unusually) 5 or more top notch 5+ > 6a problems (superb for warming up on).. its all in the thread but well worth a visit. Not sure what its like this time of year - Andy will know better as it doesnt dry fast though - good hot weather shady venue.

Got a report through:
"looks a bit grotty but is suprisingly dry, some dry snow on some holds so definately bring a harness, rope and soft brush"
will probably head over myself in a  couple of hours after I've built a snowman

Wot Jim said. A bit of grit and perseverance could pay off. After a brief blizzard its actually pretty bright over this way at the minute.
