Thanks for showing us something new.

I suspect even if it did rain, you'd still climb something right?

I climbed up in the Peak district years ago and people were climbing in between waves of rain. I thought I'd be only one, but I was able to make friends and share a rope.

General rule of thumb is drop the grade 3 points for every 3mm of rain forecast ;-)

Great TR !
I used to spend a lot of time in Cornwall when I was kid, I've forgotten how beautiful it is. Trifle is now on my list of must eat foods when climbing.

That forest, with the wildflowers, is unearthly, or middle-earthly.
