Has the snow gone or is it still a slushy mess?

No slush, but substantial patches of hard frozen stuff that was slush. Very bumpy ice, basically. The more oft used tracks may have a mostly clear line (I haven’t actually been to any mtb tracks, but am in the woods every morning, including this morning) but these patches of ice are difficult to walk on.

On the plus side there is no mud!

That’s good enough for me – Thanks.

By the way, for anyone driving to Holmbury/Peaslake/Abinger/Coldharbour – roads are almost completely clear but don’t get casual, because there are odd patches of pure ice that’ll surprise you.

There’s a few places that usually run with melt-water that freeze solid overnight around the villages. Almost crashed into a parked land rover last year because of one patch on the way into Peaslake.
