Useful WebCams

Bouldering and climbing are often weather dependent, so its useful to know what conditions are like in the area you are intending on heading to.

The UKB Forum has the two sub-forums for conditions, one for Bouldering and one for Climbing and posts to both are automatically tweeted. Posting on one of the threads in these forums about the conditions at a particular area will often elicit a response from a local as to the current conditions in the area.

However, another useful resource is the plethora of Web-Cams that now cover the country. Whilst very few of these are actually at the crags and bouldering venues they can provide an overview of the weather in the area.
