Hello all,

Just wondering if people think dunkeld, creag dubh, Aberdeen sea cliffs or glen clova would be dry/worthwhile tomorrow. Been to none of the above after a night of heavy rain so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Heddwyn

In reply to Lloydfletch: Creag Dubh's Great wall could be fine https://m.bbc.co.uk/weather/2641542/tomorrow

In reply to Lloydfletch:

The answer to that question is almost always 'The County'.

In reply to DaveHK:

I know, I know. Was hoping for somewhere different, however after a bit more forecast evaluation no prizes for guessing as to where we're headed tomorrow.

In reply to Lloydfletch:
The fastest drying local crag is hawkcraig. It dries very quickly normally.

clova and dunked can suffer from seepage but aren't too bad either. I suspect Creag dubh is a little worse. Aberdeen sea cliffs cover quite a large area so will vary

Sandstone can be a bit slow drying at this time of year and shouldn't be climbed on damp as it's much more easily damaged.

In reply to DaveHK:

It rained all day and all night in Northumberland.

In reply to CurlyStevo:

Some of is, but some parts dry quickly. We'd hoped that with 35mph wind and a forecast dry day it would be fine. However when at our breakfast stop at Berwick morrisons there was a deluge. Turned round and went to ratho.

In reply to Lloydfletch:
Bowden is perhaps the fastest drying crag but in early spring I've even found most of that has remained damp for a good part of the day in the past.
