Stoney Middleton and Millstone..

Today has been another changeable day in the Peak District. The day started with some showers in the Hope Valley before clearing to give good climbing conditions in the afternoon.

Simon and I visited Stoney Middleton, a good option in the rain, climbing 'Double Scotch' (E2) before moving to Millstone Edge.

Millstone dries quickly being very exposed in westerly winds, although it can sometimes get a little sandy due to the topsoil being exposed at the top of the crag. Despite the odd sandy hold we did 'Regent Street' (E2) and 'Emankment Route 4' (E1).

The forecast suggests that the weekend might give good fine weather, with any significant rain being confined to Saturday evening..
