Sleets Gill was on our club meets list for this weekend, which we've obviously had to cancel due to the amount of rain we have had/will have.
Now I know it needs 'a period of settled weather' before safely attempting it - but it made me wonder just how much? Three dry days? A whole week?
(Let's say I wanted to get to the Ramp without drowning in Hydrophobia).
Has anyone any experience of this trip, either when it's been surprisingly wet (ie too wet, even after some dry days), or surprisingly dry (doable, even though it's been wet) ?
(And yes, I know it has 'unpredictable hydrology' so there's likely no hard-and-fast answer).
Thanks!
