I suspect the trails arent too bad but the roads will be rubbish and with more snow forecast over night it wouldn't be somewhere I'd be planning to drive.
Just ride Cann Woods/Yelverton/Princey/etc there's plenty of snow to make it interesting.

I work in Exeter so me and a couple others did the red and the black after work today. There's a couple inches of snow on all the open bits, down towards the black run it either hasn't snowed as much or is thawing out already as quite a bit of it had water running down the trail. It was raining there when we left around 5.

Good fun on skinny Larsens though!

I'm hoping Sunday morning will be do-able, as the 2nd round of the Soggy's been postponed until next week..

I reckon it'll be pretty muddy up there on Sunday unless it freezes again. Haldon doesn't have the best reputation for draining well.

On another note, have they sorted out the problems from the recent land slide up there?

don't know where you hear your reputations from. talking to the wrong people or riding the wrong trails. ๐Ÿ˜‰

anyway. 'recent land slide' as in 'before xmas'?
err, sorted before xmas. like within 2 weeks of occurance at most, more likely within a week. HTH. ๐Ÿ˜€
