With the awful weather until Saturday and good weather on Sunday does anyone have any recommendations for crags in the South West (Wye Valley, Cheddar, Brean, Portland) which will be dry enough to be climbable and won't be seeping too much.
Any kind of climbing/crag is acceptable, let me know your recommendations
Further afield (i.e. proper SW) there’s not a lot of seepage on most of the Culm and it usually dries quickly. Vicarage (up to HVS), or Lower Sharpnose (HVS+) would be good.
I was trying to think of something which conveyed a certain efficiency and my brain was somewhat half awake. I take your point though. And the gorge is definitely not to everybody's taste, but in the depths of winter when all else is wet, it dries out quickly and stays vaguely warm, unlike for example which is like standing in the path of a snow cannon some days, with a constant gale and moisture blasting you.
The main East Face and the routes on both sides of the Monolith stay dry in most conditions and dry very quickly after rain. Very sheltered from prevailing SW winds.
