Still dry as of last nite - crag that is not the walk-in...

[shark]

You can walk in from Wormhill and avoid the worst of the mud - in fact it was the original way I used before the cut thru following the stream was really used.

Instead of turning sharp right thru the trees and down the bank carry on down the field along the track slightly up then back down. As it narrows to a path carry on down for another 30 yards or so and cut back right on a path and follow this for 100 yards  looking for a walkers gate after 100-150 yards. This will continue takeing you back right across/down the hill along a (now) overgrown and narrow path and connect back to the main path about 50 yards before you would normally connect with it.

That's probably as clear as errr mud.

I realised my original description was a bit misleading walking in today. Duly amended above. Sorry if it bamboozled anyone.

[G_M]

Anyone been there today?

[shark]

Bit greasy yesterday evening. Few damp patches at left side in places. MA had a few wet streaks. Generally dry though.

[G_M]

Thanks. Just about everything bone dry.

[nodder]

Would like to spread my incompetence further afield this weekend, commitments mean it has to be sunday, any reports up till then would be much appreciated. 

[Johnny Brown]

If its got through the last fortnight okay I think you can forget seepage, and given the forecast condensation looks unlikely (wind, no large temp changes). So all you need to worry about is the muddiness of the path. Approach from Topley Pike and you can ignore that too...

[Norton Sharley]

... or use the Shark's super duper non-muddy red point succesful long short cut by continuing down the main path from Wormhill after the first right and then cutting back right after 100m.  Apologies if you are just trying to leave more parking space for yourself at Wormhill JB, but somehow I doubt it?

[Steamboat Stello]

Reckon theres still a good chance of dryness tomorrow despite Rubicon and the Tor being wet?

[nai]

Some guys I bumped into at the Tor had been there this morning and said it was also wet.

It's probably all just condensation though so could dry out if it's fresh and there's a breeze.

Routes were pretty much all still dry yesterday (Sunday 22 Aug) but the walk in was very muddy

[Davo]

Anybody been down in the last day or so?

We were thinking of maybe heading over tomorrow as the forecast is good but were worried about seepage after all the rain...

Cheers Dave

[The Sausage]

Was totally mint yesterday. Very dry with strong, cold westerly wind blowing along the crag. Would be very surprised if it gets wet this week.

[RobinB]

Dry again this evening (walk in still muddy!)

[Davo]

Thanks for that, might check it out tomorrow.

Word is that it was minging down there this morning according to those on the way back up as we were on the way down. Lot of run-off, misty and condensation

[JC]

Some seepage on the crag today - Taylor Made, Monumental, Last Eggs, Old Man River and Snails all had some seepage on them.  The Nook was also minging, looked like seepage as well   

[holgerman]

Anyone been down yesterday? Does Powerplant still look dry?  Was thinking of heading over tomorrow.

[Ethan]

Was there today and all stuff still in good nick, apart from a few things around This is the River, and Taylor Made which has a lot of water running off. Powerplant and the rest all good though. The Nook however is soaked!

[holgerman]

Thanks for your reply - it was still in reasonable condition yesterday in powerplant area - most of the rest not  good and Baltic temperatures

[JohnM]

Anyone been down today?  I'm particularly interested in Powerplant.

[ChrisC]

Clarion Call Rightwards all dry. 

The river area was like a rive, but Cry of Despair was dry, Roof Warior looks to have damp holds but maybe climbable.

Further down Taylor made was dripping, Monumental wet in part, Neisis dry but Christian's route had a wet hold aparently.  Jug Jockey looked to be getting wet too. 

[ChrisC]

It wasn't too warm either, down jacket and gloves wouldn't go a miss.

[holgerman]

Anyone been down there this week?

[dod]

FYI this weekend and all that. Chee dale cornice looking pretty good. All dry from; Adventures in Greendale to Love Amongst the Butterflies. Then still some damp slime all along under the R'n'P/K3 roof, the kind of thing that would probably dry in a day or two if it were brushed away. Four Dour Dostovky totally dry. Then some wetness. Then Martial music and Clarion Call all dry.
Dont forget your big brush
