Was up there yesterday and they are in a poor state after the bad weather last week – rode from Lydard hill CP along the ridge past Crowcombe – ridge was like a river with snow drifts between Lydyeard and Triscombe, then taking the Black hill ridge down into Holford – this was chewed up very,very wet,muddy and slippery, difficult to ride. Holford is a disaster area, loads of trees down, we had to walk a lot of it till the clearing before the pull up to the top. Stream crossings were knee deep.I have been riding Holford for 20 years and some of the route was not recogniseable because of stream re route and trees down.
Take care if you go up there, not a good place at present.
