wtf was all that about ? a little drizzle turned the top layer of dust into the slippiest mud i've ever seen on dartmoor. quite a shock after 6 or 7 weeks of bone dry dustyness. how's the rest of the country been ?

Tavi woodlands was a laugh. Dry under tree cover and slick as **** out of it. Made some section really interesting going from grip to nothing and back again every 10ft....

Can't believe I missed a DRY Viking Challenge!

Dry and dusty here on the Derby Notts border, apart from where some farmer chump is letting a cattle trough overflow onto a lovely downhill bit, making it incredibly muddy for 200 fast and slightly buttock clenching yards

not so much hammering down in the benign east, just misty. i'm hopeful the trails will be ok at the weekend.
