I'm thinking of heading to FOD tomorrow and was just wondering if anyone had been recently and can tell me what the conditions are like at the moment.

I've not been there for years. Habe the trails been expanded quite a lot since the early 2000's

Cheers

Steve.

It was still great fun, why dont you stop by the 417 project as the same time (if you buy uplift tokens you can use them at fod and 417 as its the same owners)

The occasional shower, sometimes heavy. Yesterday though was like the end of the world, rain wise.

Wasn't too bad this morning. Been a nice day so drying a bit.

You'll notice a change though. Over crowded manicured tracks everywhere and all the good stuff is either worn out or "repaired" with gravel. Go as far as you can from Cannop if you like the countryside. Great if you like cities though.
