I have a few days off this week and eyeballing the weather forecast it's mostly dry Sunday and sunny spells Monday. Will it be worth the drive up from Bristol to climb Monday or will I arrive to wet rock everywhere?

Thanks in advance.

Was biking around Burbage yesterday ( Saturday) and the trails were mainly dry. A few puddles and mud but not much.

Yes, there are going to be showers this evening, but almost everything will have dried out by Monday morning and the weather looks superb Monday.

I'm not at all convinced about amazing. Chances of showers and freezing in the early hours, ouside chance of mist. There will be good climbing to be had somewhere on grit but it might be selective.

Thanks all, will head up tonight and go hunting tomorrow. Any recommendations around 6c-7b that are likely to be dry welcomed, I'll be alone with one pad so nothing too highball. Happy to link up with others if anyone's about.

Maybe we looked at different forecasts, mine said dry all day. 

To the OP, if I'm wrong and there is some rain then try Hampers Hang area at Stanage, stays dry most weathers.

Dry and the lowest humidity forecast I’ve seen in months! I’ll be getting out.

The Met office High Neb forecast is the best judge for conditions at Stanage.

Good but a long way from amazing, especially for late March.

It wasn't exactly warm at Stanage, I'll say that.

Yea it was a great thanks, started at high neb and worked my way along down to plantation. A full flask of tea kind of day. Lovely in the sun but cool enough to climb in the shade, walked off in the dark and hussled back to Bristol. Thanks to all who I met along the way.
