Hello,

As title really.

Thinking of plodding over that way tomorrow morning. Been on holiday last week so don't know how much rain there has been.

What are the trail conditions like at the moment? HAs it battered it down today (we've had a couple of very heavy showers in Leeds but dry and sunny now)

cheers!

Not been bad over the border in Rossendale today, ground's pretty saturated but there's not been much rain today and a fair bit of sun. forecast for tomorrow morning looks dry.

Had a cracking day today around Hebden, bone dry all day.
Trails are in quite good nick but are overgrown in some places.
mmmbop is quite overgrown at the top end, where the flags run along the wall side, but fine after that.
Stannys (AKA Public Funpath) is very slippy-slimy over the rocks all the way down.
Midget's Pit is in good condition, just a bit of excess vegetation at the top.
The only slop that we encountered was on the climb up to the Pike from the Callis end of London Road.
We had the place to ourselves today. Fabulous. ๐Ÿ˜€

Nice one - cheers gents ๐Ÿ™‚

Also on another subject I don't get why people rave on about mmmBop so much. Done it a few times and the bit down to the bridge is good and challenging. Not ridden it all in one go with no dabs (a good thing - something to complete!) but the rest of it just doesn't seem very, er, flowy. It's just easy bits interspersed by really nadgery obstacles.
Is it just me?
