> dry tomorrow? does it seep much?

It has been generally dry and breezy recently, only a little showery rain, a bit cool, everything is predominantly dry at that level, there will not be much seepage. You may need a scythe or a strimmer to get to the base. Everyone should take a stick and beat the bracken. Needs a clean-up.

The braken isn't too bad at the minute & its probably the quickest crag to dry in borrowdale I tried 4 crags one day before settling on lower falcon and it was bone dry! Cant say I've noticed seepage lines when I've been.

It'll be dry at the moment and dries very quickly after rain (which is forecast at times over the weekend). The access to the base of the crag is OK at the moment and not overgrown. It gets the afternoon sun and tomorrow looks like it could be sunny towards the late afternoon.

Climbed Hedera Grooves on Thursday pm. Was dry then in spite of some recent rain. Not much evidence of recent activity on the crag!
