Anyone been to Aston Hill recently? Is it still the too slippy to push up in five tens? 👿

will let you know tomorrow im taking my winter boots just in case

I’ve not been to Aston Hill recently, but the rest of the Chilterns is wetter than an Otters pocket.

You will probably need crampons to get up, only to crash into every tree on the way down.

I went a week or so ago and the push up was fine.. It was my first time there so don’t have much to compare it to.

Its very steep, so may not actually be muddy, just very slippery. Chalk and roots slippery.

The bottom will be muddy, so you get a soft landing 🙂

Cheers Makkag. That would be really useful.

I was there yesterday and it was still quite slippery and claggy mud. Ended up doing the xc route as it was more manageable.

No! I rode there last Sunday and had to stop and de-mud my bike before I could ride it back up! Very claggy but all rideable and as challenging as it always is when it’s wet.

I love it equally when it’s wet or dry – totally different challenge but great either way. Only usually manager 6 runs with a pedal back up when it’s wet versus 8-9 in the dry,

s2a is probably running about right, the dry would have probably dried up any puddles on that? Other than that I wouldn’t risk to comment! Last time I went, there was that funny dust stuff about…
