Ruth and myself were out on Kinder Scout today for some navigation practice. Although windy, it has been a fine day with clear blue skies for the most part.

Despite last night's heavy rain, Stanage (pictured) and Burbage North were totally dry due to the strong wind. Plenty of folk were out climbing at these venues, and I would imagine that the rest of the Eastern Edges are in similar condition.

Tomorrow (Wednesday), is forecast to be another fine day in the Hope Valley. For those able to nip out mid week there should be plenty of climbing to be done. In addition to the Eastern Edges, any other crags exposed to the wind will also be fine e.g. Stoney Middleton, Horseshoe Quarry, High Tor, Wild Cat, Black Rocks and Cratcliffe to name a few worth checking out!...
