can anybody tell me if it’s a mess on the top, taking my wife on saturday to do a loop from Castleton, did it a while back and it was horrid.

it’s a peat bog, it’s meant to be a mess 😉

it’s only a bit of mud FFS :o)

It’s being pissing it down here recently, it’ll be “horrid”.

Rained for ages last night, so i’d guess rather bad, but tbh, who plans their route depending on conditions 🙄

Just ride through the mud, more fun 🙂

Dunno but it’s pi$$ed it down every day for over 2 weeks now in Sheff so expect it to be less than dry.

i rode a few trails in that area on my tourer the other day. truly disgusting….but great fun

it’ll be “horrid”.

on a cross bike, yeah 🙂

Sunny now 🙂

Pop a short wheelie through all the boggy holes- its much quicker.

Cheers for the advice, just to clarify, me and mud are ok, wife and mud = not all that happy. 😉

thats half the fun of Rushup edge, plus you get to splash the person behind you if you do it right

send the wife down the road to get the order in at the pub in Edale

What richpips said, it’ll be horrendous. There’s been torrential showers here over the last 3 days, 20-30 mins at a time, then dry for half a day then rain again.

bear in mind crazy-legs is a well-known tart who hides under the bed whimpering when there are clouds…

I think of him more as a r**die with MTB pretensions…

Fact 🙂

And yet amazingly I’ve still managed to cycle to and from work everyday…!
Without getting wet. 🙂

Up there last night – puddles & mud.
I am about 4 miles away and it has rained a bit today but nothing really heavy

anyway, if you don’t like the mud, take the FP, it’s nicely laid to stone :o)

the only problem there is all the bleedin styles to climb over 🙁

Was really suprised how well the trails around ladybower (especially cutthroat bridge to winstone lee tor) have held up recently, the ground was still hard under the puddles rather than a boggy mess.

think of it as a steeplechase 🙂
