Accurate Weather Forecast?

Dry days- 77
Days of rain- 65

The forecasts said rain overnight, then today would be dry. After liaising with BeardyBeast we opted to have a look at Ilkley. It was sunny, but very windy when we arrived. We had a look at Chariots of Fire Eliminate again, although I'd totally forgotten my sequence and had to start again. After some time I did all the moves again, but it's still going to be a bugger for me to link.

BeardyBeast had 2 burns, falling on the last little bit. Then came the rain. We bailed and wandered over to Ron's Traverse, neither of us having looked at it. The rain stopped long enough to have a quick go, but then returned with a veangance and didn't go. We retired to the car to sip hot drinks from the cafe.

As an aside, there's been more chipping going on. Photos clickable for full size image.
