Ben and Tamsin experienced cracking conditions at Derwent Edge on Saturday. It was red hot, but never overwhelming, as friction was good due to the well weathered rock and the slight breeze. 'Lancaster Flyby', 'Barney Rubble' and many other routes had ascents by the 8-10 climbing teams present. Sounds like it was a good, and popular, choice in the hot weather.

We experienced some heavy thunderstorms early on Sunday evening. The weather is likely to be very hot for the next couple of days..
