gone from hub deep slop to dry on bits of the chase. Hanchurch looks like the Somme thanks to the FC harvesting every tree and twig in the place and the fact that it stays damper than an otters pocket at the best of times.

Was up Simonside in Northumberland today, still six inches of snow in places. Gilfriend wasn't impressed with the route.

Afan was dry, lower down but the higher up and close to the falling water was a little damp, but great conditions! loads of grip.

Don't worry guys, I'm taking the Trailrakers off later this week in preparation for a BHF charity ride at the weekend - pretty much gurantees a return to wet and gloopy conditions 😥

Wet enough to be slippy and claggy enough to clog every tire going on Sundays ride. Found a tiny little bit of pine forest (not really big enough to be woods but sounds wrong) that was dusty until the crunchy frosty bit.

I was up innerleithen this afternoon, Caddon Bank dusty in bits, anywhere above that still has ice and snow!

Gave up on XC trail before the quarry because of snow, went along to make or break, 4" heavy wet snow on top road, ice all over the top of make or break. No snow lower down.

Blairadam in Fife still had some snow, but it was dry under the trees. Great when out of the wind, you could feel the warmth of the sun and spring just around the corner.

It's fairly mixed in the Pentlands. Still some snow about but not really on the trails any more. Some muddy parts, and plenty of the softer bits that should still be avoided, but quite dry on most of the trails I was on today.
