Thinking of a Leith, Holmbury and Pitch loop tomorrow. Any areas holding up pretty well? Any soggy parts to avoid?

Thanks!

Kinda depends if you want to do specific trails like the following

Barry knows best is fine (never really gets bad)

All the T trails are good

Crackpipe & Yogurt pots are good

Evian was quite boggy along with Northern Monkey, Lovely legs etc...

What’s the deal with Evian and Winterfold at the moment? Am never quite sure what is on and off limits so tend to play it safe and not go there!

Never had any probs riding Evian, none of it has been demolished unlike Flytipper

Only thing Ive seen is once you come to the end of Evian there were signs up saying no entry on the left and right climbs by the pool/pit

That was six months ago and they don't seem to be there now

Never had any issues riding Winterfold but then i tend to go in the week or early morning on the weekends to miss the crowds

Winterfold Woods itself north of the line that you can draw across bottom section of Evian (where the private keep out signs are by the rock gully), is out of bounds. Except for bridleways.

That's the official line and to be fair it always has been, long before it came to a head. People riding it doesn't mean the situation has changed.

Northern Monkey and stuff along the ridge to the south is fine.

There are possible plans to exit Evian on Hurtwood land.

The slop is firming up in places and getting a bit loam like. Others it's like porridge. Holmbury as always holds up better.
