Damn you weather Gods! It seems North Yorkshire is now a no go due to rain. However, Baildon Bank (https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag ... n_bank-537 )does not look that bad so will default to Baildon if weather holds if not will aim for Big Depot.

Ehh.. it's not meant to be, see my last post, and hopefully see you at the Big Depot.
update: 15:46
I'm tired of this constant weather changes. Me and Karolina risking for Baildon, if we get rain we may escape to Big/Small Depot.
Feel free to join whoever wants, but be aware it may turn ~@!*#, or may turn epic.
Think some people going Big Depot - so there will always be someone to partner up.
update: 17:06 (final)
Word on the connies is that it's wet and we are bailing to Big Depot instead. I tried I really did. Weather vs Lucas (3-1)
Our next Tuesday meet is taking us to the land of Rylstone - where the grass is green and the rocks are pretty
Loads of climbing throughout the grades, with a nice views too. Also, doing the annual Dental Slab become a bit of a tradition. It’s like going to Baildon and not doing Epitaph!
Crag:
https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag ... 8#overview
Parking:
A: Small Layby on B6265 (54.021372, -2.046176) https://www.google.com/search?q=54.0213 ... e&ie=UTF-8
Spaces for only few cars that could fill up quite quick. Also, meaning a very short walk on the main road so be careful.
B: Raikes Lane (54.023574, -2.048635) https://www.google.com/maps/place/54%C2 ... d-2.048635
More parking options but a slightly longer walk past the St Peter's Church.
Approach:
There is a 30 mins or so hike to get there. Nothing members of mountaineering club cannot tackle but bear that in mind, so do not show up in your best flip-flops!
Timings:
As the crag is located a bit further away than the usual locations it means a fair bit of driving after work, it is worth it though. I shall be aiming for 6PM at the Raikes Lane parking spot so whoever not been to Rylstone can just walk up with me.
Will update this post closer to the day.

Virus Stuff
Self-isolation of anyone in contact with a positive case remains a requirement until 16th August (or until 2 weeks after your second vaccine, whichever is later), so if you are notified to isolate you must not attend any meets. There will be no "black marks" for pulling out of a meet booking due to self isolation.
Isolation of people who contract COVID will still be a requirement so if you develop any symptoms of illness which could be due to COVID (this includes headaches, fatigue and even a runny nose for some variants), you must not attend any meets until you have confirmed you are negative or have completed your isolation. Again, there will be no penalties for pulling out of meets for this reason.
Over the next couple of months, most of our planned activities take place outside and are therefore relatively low risk for transmission, but please consider carrying hand sanitiser for use after touching shared equipment etc. Use of masks will still be recommended on public transport and in shops and we would ask everyone to consider this if car sharing.
I know it probably goes without saying but please also be mindful that everyone has different risk factors, both for themselves and their loved ones, and we may not be equally comfortable being around others yet so let's continue to be supportive of each other and not have any mandatory group hugs...
