Never ridden here before. Got the route (X1) from the MTB guide from Marple Roman Lakes. Will it be ridable after recent weather (Or will I make a mess of the trail by trying)?

Cheers,
Andy.

Have a read of [url= http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/rowarth-new-mills-hayfield-trail-destruction-psa ]this thread[/url] posted a couple of days ago and look at the pictures!

Chinley is very wet at the moment - just really splashy gritty puddles mostly on a firm base although there are some deeper boggier ones. And it's raining here at the moment as well.

A lot of the Hayfield trails are rockier and have fared slightly better although there's been a lot of gravel washed off the tops causing some big old ruts.
