T' County conditions??

I would be amazed if you can even find Kyloe in crag with either of them, never mind work out the problems.
You need to get the guide.

You could risk it and just turn up, especially at Kyloe and Bowden, but its very quite and you may find yourself alone, no one seems to go outside up here any more.

Maybe because it is shit climbing on damp rock

Or get Grimer's Boulder Britain Guide as an investmnet, enough info to get you there and onto the better (known) problems.
 
Anyone make it out this weekend? Is there much snow lying? We binnned our return trip to Hepburn scheduled for yesterday because the forecast didn't look good enough to warrant a 2hr drive down from over the border

Forecast appears to be more snow this week and assume ths will effect the access to most crags as they are off minor roads??

Cheers
 
Very damp at Shattoe on Saturday. It's now belting it down with snow in Durham and presumably northwards too.
 
Sleet and snow all night but didnt settle, very very wet. Presently snowing heavily and starting to settle, i am right on the coast so i guess it will be thicker inland.

My guess is forget it for a good few days.
 
A few of us are supposed to be heading up this weekend, understand there's been a fair amount of snow, what's the chances of anything being climbable?
 
Now that's optimism, I was just hoping KitW would be ok. Reports say nearly a foot of snow down. Can take a shovel and brush though if it'd be of any use
 
Yesterday was possibly the worst weather i have ever seen up here, horizontal sleet (although the quantity of this means slush would be a better description.
Overnight there has been 2 inches of snow at sea level.
Its all due to thaw this weekend so i would go somewhere else as i really think you will be lucky to climb.

That's what I expected, thanks very much
 
Its looking like a nice day tomorrow. Anywhere likely to dry out quckly where i wont damage the rock after it has had a few weeks of soaking up all that misserable rain?
 
In case nobody replies with first-hand knowledge, the facebook told me that Kyloe In was fine and dry today.
 
Kyloe completly dry (main section) today, great friction. Heard from others Back Bowden was totally soaked, even under the roofs!!
 
Anyone one know what kyloe is like, heading down tomorrow..
