Tuesday I still felt whalloped. Things did not bode well for the Cave on wednesday, but delightfully, by the time it came for action the fog had lifted. So, wednesday. Grey and overcast in sheff. Picked up the Pritchard and set off across the Snake. Hideous weather through the peak - low cloud, wet roads, mist etc. Manchester - similar, Chester - much brighter, hopes soared... Falsely. As we turned off the a55 into 'dudno the rain landed. Positively bouncing down by the time we got to the cave, which was a filthy sopping gop fest. V.disappointing. We jumped out of our boring Vauxhall prison, fettled some holds, called the job off, cancelled the local heroes and set off back to Sheffield.
It was wierd and disappointing to be going straight back without doing anything, but it really was sacked. You could have done about three moves. Warming up would have been desperate. Maintaining desire harder still. We could have gone to the Mill, but both agreed to get the drive out of the way. If we went to the wall in Sheff then when we finished we would already be home. An underestimated commodity. So, three hours there, back in two - we went to the wall.
At last I managed to dispatch the hard green affair on the barrel. Failed on all board projects, although got a new one from Kook, which goes a little something like this :
Wort, dowel
9h
12.5e
Beastmaker pinch
17h (I got this far)

So that was that. Back much earlier than expected, but a day salvaged. Am still keen for the cave, and it will soon be prime time for beginning wednesday afternoon half day raids. Nacho is apparently about at the moment, but may be going home on Tuesday.
I wonder whether anything will be dry tomorrow. I will be over manchester way. And very near Running hill pits. Is there much else to do up there I wonder?

Can't you pay Doylo to get up early, make the epic one mile journey to check the place out for you? Surely that would save time, money and petrol.
i told him it would be wet
