Rosehip May 2019 8:03pm, 29 May 2019 12,618 posts	0 Rosehip Just took a peek at the GF webcam - hmm, maybe my plan to bag a few of the central fells whilst they were relatively "dry" needs a rethink.
Velociraptor May 2019 8:04pm, 29 May 2019 41,766 posts	0 Velociraptor It's damp tonight.
Rosehip May 2019 8:08pm, 29 May 2019 12,619 posts	0 Rosehip the forecast isn't the most encouraging - but I have a 3-night pass, so I'm bloody well going to use it!
Northern Exile May 2019 8:11pm, 29 May 2019 5,090 posts	0 Northern Exile You should definitely use it Ros. If it's any consolation, it's pissing down in the Highlands too 🙄
Rosehip May 2019 8:14pm, 29 May 2019 12,621 posts	0 Rosehip I shall - but I might take note of Wainright's "This is a walk to wish on one's worst enemy especially after rain " and not do the Bleabberry - High Seat loop I was thinking about!
Dave A May 2019 8:22pm, 29 May 2019 22,161 posts	0 Dave A We walked the route up there mid August a few years ago. Was very boggy.
Northern Exile May 2019 8:30pm, 29 May 2019 5,091 posts	0 Northern Exile Sensible. That could be a "and that's the last we saw of Ros" moments.
Rosehip May 2019 8:33pm, 29 May 2019 12,622 posts	0 Rosehip - well everywhere else was so dry last month it was on my radar - and then the weather turned more normal
FenlandRunner May 2019 10:21pm, 29 May 2019 1,871 posts	0 FenlandRunner I think you should be OK, Rosehip. Fusedale, after a night of moderately heavy rain was really dry, as predicted by flanker. When I did Bleaberry Fell and High Seat from Ashness Bridge with eldest son a few years back it wasn't too bad. However Armboth Fell and High Tove from Thirlmere side in August 2007 they were an absolute abomination of bog, bog and more bog. Hated it. Never been back.
mushroom May 2019 8:40am, 30 May 2019 1,034 posts	0 mushroom Visit to the SW corner this weekend - might be a trip up outlying fells - Blackcombe most likely. Good view of Duddon Sands Windfarm..!

Somewhere you can confidently ask "which is the best chip shop in Keswick?" and expect an intelligent reply.

Lots of experience and good advice available here, from which B & B or YHA to the best fell for Grandma to climb :-)
