Hi all,

It's me again, asking the same question. I got some great answers last time, so thought I'd ask again.

Where will be good in the Lakes tomorrow? Not really sure what I fancy. HVS/E1/E2 probably. Thinking of Gimmer, Esk, for longer stuff Sgt Crag slabs for shorter valley stuff. Will I be freezing on the first two whilst the valleys bake? Anywhere with short walk ins and long routes? Any amazing sun traps out there?

Cheers,
Dervey

Gimmer was sublime yesterday and would've been same again today, looking great for tomorrow too. A few photos here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.870298679707963.1073742024.103231...

Thanks for the heads up. I think you've swayed me!

In reply to Dervey: Whits end direct on Gimmer, awesome...

There were a couple of guys on Whit's End Direct whilst we were up there yesterday. Looked very very good.
Not done it yet, done Whit's End which was excellent as is F route

Oddly enough that's what I've got my eye on!

Don't overlook Pavey Ark in Langdale. It's got great quality rock and loads of great routes in the HVS - E2 range. You couldn't go wrong with Arcturus, Capella, Bracken Clock and Golden Slipper. Another one of my fave crags is High Crag in Buttermere. Loads of quality routes at the HVS - E2 range. Philistine, Samson and Gethsemane are really worthwhile. Both crags get sun until mid afternoon.

Thanks for the good advice. We went up to Gimmer and had a great day on Asterisk and Whits
End Direct.
