I'm only likely to go up there once, so I'm thinking that I would rather do it when it's not pissing it down and also want to make sure I do Sticks pass down, as I have leave my daughters with my mum from Saturday night to late Sunday to do it and she's currently full of a Chest infection then I think it's fair to declare I'm a none starter. I will look to nip up and do it mid week in June or July with some decent weather. Think that's half the group dropped out now then? Tbh a mate said last week he went up and it was a total wash out and has been all year

just been looking for a good mountain weather website, found this met office one. looks like rain early then sun/showers. jack when you say a total washout ,do you mean the amount of rain falling or the trails were actually washed away? im still up for it if the conditions at the summit arnt too bad. or how about a plan B for if it doesnt look or sound good on the day? www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/gcty5q7dp#?fcTime=1463875200

How many people are still up for the ride. I've got a long journey and don't fancy being the only one turning up.
