This is our regular Friday round-up of
the general weather situation for the weekend plus links to
specifics for all the main UK hills. For a particular area,
scroll down and follow the links, which all open in a new
window. Once you've read it, close the window and check out
the next. And we say, phew, wot a
scorcher or at least we would if we were a tabloiid rag
instead of a sophisticated outdoor web site.
At last, it's starting to look like summer, this is the
start of the 'settling proccess' apparently
There may be a heatwave forecast, but it's not quite with us
yet - apparently. Watch out for isloated thundery
showers

Overall: Things are
looking up with Saturday very hot and Sunday
likewise. There's still going to be some cloud
around and the possibility of isolated thundery
showers, so don't leave the waterproof behind
chaps

Access
- if you've been following our
regular foot
and mouth updates, you'll know
that the overall situation pans out roughly like
this:
As of this Friday, everything bar areas
of existing infection is supposed to be open - so one in the
eye for the foot-dragging councils in areas like
Lincolnshire. Even Lancashire is opening paths up where
possible, despite the protests of the NFU.
Peak is 90 per-cent open - Derbyshire now
100 per-cent away from the one outbreak area
Lakes has limited opening - more paths being risk assesed,
big openings from August 1
Scotland is pretty close to normal
Snowdonia Park is normal
Dales / North Yorks Moors / Lancashire - infection closes
many rights of way, but more opening.
