Anyone been there in last few days? Is it ridable or a mud fest?

I went on saturday, and it seemed pretty good, was a bit muddy but nothing that wasnt rideable, couple of big puddles at the bottom of the drops though

Went over for half hour and i found it be hard ground with a inch of slop over certain patches, worth a ride out just for a bit of slidey riding experience. I done 4 runs from the top and then gave up as i had no mud guards or eye protection and had a face full of mud.

I have seen it worse then it is now.

Have fun

Found it very sketchy on Monday. Wish i'd had some mud tyres on, not that enjoyable tbh. Goggles are a must.

Will probably give it a miss this weekend unless it stays dry between now and Sun.

Oh yeah, good tyres are a must, I was on maxxis minnions and they done their job well, even though some people say they are rubbish in the wet! Worked well for me

I'm going to check it out today I think, cheers for the goggles tip off... I'd not have normally bothered.

Is anyone about today?

According to the Danbury group on FB it's really good over there today? We're going in the morning about 9:30
