Was there last Sunday; wet, but fun on the bits we rode. No deep / thick mud to worry about.

If you're already going, does it matter what it's like? 🙂

Here's my guess - occasionally muddy in parts, wet & puddly in a lot of places, not so bad in others.

you're welcome 😉

Ah that's a point, the section of the red from Go Ape to, er, a bit further on was diverted for felling. We rode the last few sections of the red and the section after that, plus a bit of blue and it was all grand conditions wise. bits of standing water and surface mud but no bogs.

I,was there on the CX'er a few weeks ago, did the Red route and it was hardpack under the trees and on top of the exposed moors bit it was hard with puddles. Some of the rocky decents were wet and slippy, but on the whole it was dry, fun and fast.
