Bowden Doors
Northumberland
Today
|
|||||
|
Bowden Doors has received frequent light-to-moderate rain over the past week (6.4mm in 7 days including 3.1mm on April 11, 0.6mm on April 12, and 1.3mm today), with zero consecutive fully dry days — the rock has not had adequate time to dry internally despite the exposed aspect. While individual rain events have been light, the cumulative effect on porous Fell Sandstone without a sustained dry spell means internal moisture is likely still elevated. |

Kyloe Out
Northumberland
Today
|
|||||
|
The rock has received repeated light-to-moderate rainfall over the past week (3.5mm on Apr 11, 1.0mm on Apr 12, and 1.2mm forecast today), with no consecutive dry days established. Despite Kyloe Out's exposed SW aspect aiding drying, the cumulative moisture loading from frequent showers means the porous Fell Sandstone is very likely still holding internal moisture and should not be climbed today. |

Simonside
Northumberland
Today
|
|||||
|
Despite a promising condition report yesterday afternoon and some drying wind, Simonside received 4.6mm of rain on the 12th (much of it in the afternoon/evening), plus 0.6mm today, following a wet week with nearly 10mm total. The NW-facing aspect at 430m with high humidity and overnight temperatures near freezing means insufficient drying time has elapsed for confidence in rock integrity. |

Callerhues
Northumberland
Today
|
|||||
|
Callerhues received 4.7mm of rain yesterday (April 12) spread throughout the day, with additional light rain today (0.4mm), meaning the rock has had zero consecutive dry days. Combined with nearly 50mm over the last 28 days and persistent high humidity, the sandstone will be saturated internally despite its exposed, SW-facing position — climbing today risks both hold breakage and permanent crag damage. |

Great Wanney
Northumberland
Today
|
|||||
|
Great Wanney has received repeated rainfall over the past week with no meaningful dry spell, and today itself has 1.5mm forecast. The Fell Sandstone will be saturated internally despite any surface drying, and the ongoing pattern of frequent precipitation means there has been no adequate drying window. |

Ravensheugh
Northumberland
Today
|
|||||
|
Ravensheugh has received repeated rainfall over the past week with 3.9mm yesterday, 2.0mm today, and no meaningful dry spell — the rock will be saturated internally despite any surface drying from wind. With a NW aspect at 400m receiving minimal direct sun and persistent high humidity, the Fell Sandstone needs several consecutive dry days that have simply not occurred. |

Back Bowden Doors
Northumberland
Today
|
|||||
|
Back Bowden Doors has received repeated light-to-moderate rainfall over the past week (6.3mm in 7 days), with rain today (1.6mm) meaning zero consecutive dry days. The sheltered valley position, west aspect receiving only evening sun, and high ambient humidity mean the porous Fell Sandstone will be holding significant internal moisture despite any surface drying. |

Berryhill
Northumberland
Today
|
|||||
|
Berryhill received 3.7mm of rain today (April 13th) on top of frequent light precipitation over the past two weeks, meaning the rock is currently wet and has had no drying time. The cumulative moisture loading from 27mm over the past 28 days, combined with spring humidity levels, means the Fell Sandstone will need at least 48 hours of dry weather before conditions could be considered. |

Corby's Crag
Northumberland
Today
|
|||||
|
Corby's Crag has received repeated light-to-moderate rain over the past week (5.7mm in 7 days), with 2.3mm falling yesterday and 1.1mm forecast today, giving zero consecutive dry days. The sheltered, below-road-level position and friable Fell Sandstone mean the rock is almost certainly still saturated internally despite any surface drying, and conditions are unsuitable for climbing. |
