It's been a day of changeable weather in the Peak today with sunshine and some stormy showers. The showers have been fairly variable, so its just pot luck with which venues to choose! In the last few days the eastern edges have been popular despite the heat, along with Chee Dale and Water-Cum-Jolly. As expected Chee Dale is pretty much dry with parties climbing on all the popular crags such as Embankment Wall, Max Wall, Two Tier, Plumb Buttress, Chee Tor and the Cornice.

Pat and myself managed a brief visit to Willersley Castle Crag near Cromford which is pleasant in the shade and stays dry in the rain. We were surprised to see only one other climbing team. The Access situation still requires care and a low profile is recommended, definately worthwhile to ensure continued use of a great crag.

If it continues to stay hot the north facing venues are always a good choice e.g. Kinder's northern edges, Water-cum-Jolly, Willersley etc...
