Not really lots of mud in the lakes it get so much water that washes the trails clean
more rock and gravel so a tyre that suits wet rock would be a good choice .

Yep as mikesmith says,also its worth looking for a front tyre with a good side tread, it helps the bike track properly and is very noticeable on boulder/loose slate type trails.

I use HR60a on the front and ArdentExo on the back.

May look to a 42a HR front and HR60a on the rear for winter.

Not really any requirement for mud tyres, as all the BW's seem to be rivers at the moment. 🙁

Something that won't pinch flat (I had four in the space of three rides last week, including both tyres at once on one descent!).
