It's good, but I'd agree on it being better with peeps who have at least an idea how to string stuff together. No ride on this monday coming as it's a christmas curry instead. Trails were at their tip-top frozen bestest on monday just gone, could be snowy by now....

I'd say try and get one of the leaflets which have a map of all the waypoint markers.
There may still be the 2 mtb routes (which are fireroad based). Start on one of those and if you see some tire tracks into the forest just follow them. You can't get
thatlost in Delamere at worst you just turn back.If you come out onto a fireroad you'll soon find a number waymarker which you can find on your map.
It's good fun, go explore (just don't give a definate time to your missus of when you'll be back).

I'm going to head over there tonight at 6pm for a very cold night ride, will post conditions later

We have had about 4 inches in Runcorn overnight. Delamere was mostly frozen solid on Monday night. There is a possibility this snow will have turned to sheet ice by the 28th. We are hopefully taking the kids there on Christmas Eve, if I remember I will post up the conditions then.

if you are going to go ton, then get someone who knows the singletrack round delamere to lead you round the good bits
there is loads of singletrack, and when the conditions are icy or snowy its excellent riding

Hopefully going out on the night ride on monday the 27th also provided people are still going that is!
