Well I waited with my mate until 9:45 no sign of anyone else so we set off..

It just a slippy mud feat over there now a few bits of dry track, most of the down hill sections are mud pits... Did the long down hill one with all the roots then the winding down hill through the wooded section... Didn't do the down hill by the lake don't think anyone would off stayed on doing that???

The drop in by the lake? We did it mate wasn't as bad as it looked.

You just missed the other riders. About 10 of them got to the kart track at 10am just as I was leaving...

Yup good group of us went around 10am, I got there just after 9.45.... Muddy but fun!

Yea past the other 10am group, loads of walkers and loose dogs everywhere... Fun but now takes ages to clean the bike.... Lol

I went out today and yesterday afternoon, it is getting very muddy now, tried to find a few 'off piste' bits that have been less heavily travelled.
The dogs and walkers are terrible later on (why can't they just wander around Ikea instead?) in the afternoon but heres a pic of the lake on Saturday shortly before a dog jumped in to attack the ducks.

Jamie maybe you should get a portable power washer like the a nomad or mobi that runs off your cars lighter socket or battery. Good for getting the bike clean before taking it home. If you have your bike on a rack it should also be dry before you get home.
Also good for pram wheels and 3 year old rippers lol.

Greg... Nice to see you again and your son ripping up the trails... Don't be so mean and buy him a bike with pedals next time ;-)

I used Steve's one at Epping once.. I provided the car power he provided the water... My dirty bike goes on the back any how, and yea it was dry when I got home... Cleaning the bike I actually like just takes a bit longer now... ;-)
