Heading to Gisburn in Sunday and wondered if anyone had ridden it this week?
Is it boggy or not at the moment?

Rode it yesterday - soggy in places but all fine really. The only bit I didn't ride was Hully Gully, which I always leave off at this time of year if there's dampness about because it tends to go a bit muddy.

Worst bits at the mo, oddly are the nearly-new opening section from the hub car park (Snake), where puddles have got a bit potholey in places, and the short descent just after that on the way to the Causeway, which has gone even more brakey-bumpy than usual. But nothing major at all.

That's great- was hoping it wasn't too soggy as it's a long drive but well worth it!
I rode the skills loop not long after it opened- seemed a good section- hadn't been for a few years as it was stupidly boggy in places. They seem to have maintained the trail well.

Both sections are on the radar for repair, although not by tomorrow.....

Had a great ride on the Hope open day a while ago- friends go regularly and love the trail- must get there in the summer for a change!
