Anyone know what it's like Eastern Peakwards today? The forecasts keep telling me it's supposed to be brightening up into a nice pm/evening but it's grim here at Chapeltown and seems to be getting grimmer. 

[abarro81]

Foggy/ slightly drizzly around the uni (western sheffield) and looking less optimistic than I'd hoped...

[dave]

looks dogshit at the mo(fo) but forecast to clear up nicely later, which remains to be seen. i'm cautiously optimistic. if it does clear its likely to be warm and very little wind.

[Duma]

if it does clear its likely to be warm and very little wind.

and you're still cautiously optimistic?

[dave]

yeah, optimistic that the tor will be in nick.

That's how it was last night at Baslow. But was nice up at the Eagle Stone thanks to a bit of breeze

[Jaspersharpe]

Met office bang on so far. The sun's fighting it's way through here now.

[Andy B]

The air temperature at the plantation last night was pleasantly cool but the rock was toasty warm after a day in the sun (except for the Brad Pit Wall).

[grumpycrumpy]

Bit damp at Trackside ths a.m. ..... But things are definitely looking better for later ....

[Kingy]

yeah, optimistic that the tor will be in nick.

Probably wrong thread but the tor was in its usual half wet half dry state last night. The effects of the full on sun nullified by what appeared to be some major new seepage coming thru on Mon.

Powerband sort of dry, 2nd slot soggy but driable, foothold on middle section running with water but salvageable with towel. Foothold on matchbox rockover on Pinches wet but driable, u no the score.

I will copy this to the other thread.

Sun is shinning loverly in the mcr now. Just finishing off some gardening then a team of manchester all stars are off to tear hobson moor up

[lagerstarfish]

I can see a line of blue sky coming towards Sheff 

[Jim]

infact never mind hobson moor, wimberry it is

[butters]

Looking peakwards from my office window it would appear to be a rather good day to be out - there would appear to be a decent breeze as well.

No climbing this evening, still  injured but the conditions tonight were far too good to be going for a pint.

Tomorrow looks like a cracking day too.

[hongkongstuey]

still injured

your ankles still nicely swollen then...

[account_inactive]

It's been pissing down but has finally stopped

[Zods Beard]

Is it worth making the trip, seems to have cleared up here in Mancunia, what's it like t'other side?

Just had a shower pass over and looking out the window clouds are passing from east to west.  Not looking hopeful 

[Zods Beard]

Cheer's mate, Broughton power temple it is.

[fatdoc]

so not happening..

warm, humid... and just thundered.... big rain...

[Johnny Brown]

There's a good breeze and plenty of sunshine. Showers have been short lived if heavy. Plenty of dry rock on the edges.

Was thinking that myself now, shame I didn't have one of these a few hours ago...

[Johnny Brown]

You hardly need that, just watch a weather forecast the night before. If you want further confirmation, check the radar in the morning. Amazes me how folk rush to the wall just because of a cloudburst at half ten.

This is so true. In the past few years I've realised that rain, even for several hours, does not necessarily mean a write off. In font, Danny and I would sleep until mid afternoon through heavy, heavy rain, then wait a few hours, head to a windy crag and get the best conditions.

As for today, I waited until the wind was a blowin, and I was sure the rock would be dry... then I went on my board.
