Peak/Yorkshire bouldering on a damp day

I have a day to climb in Peak/Yorkshire on Saturday. Naturally, weather looks damp EVERYWHERE. So assuming that the whole of the Peak and Yorkshire is going to get rain at some point, where would be the best bet to get a good few hours of bouldering in?

Rubicon in the peak is nearly all overhanging and stays pretty dry even in the rain. It's also very polished so if it does get rained on it won't make much difference to the friction.

Lots of places dry super-fast. Choose somewhere that faces the sun and catches the breeze. I've had good days at Slipstones, Almscliff, Burbage, Stanage in showery weather. Just stay away from places that are green and sheltered.

The Churnet could be an option too, for a possible staying dry - rather than drying quickly - venue. Personally I think trying to climb when it's raining is a waste of time and rather do something else, but I know some people get added satisfaction from mananging to find something, even if it's crap and still actually a bit wet.
