I think it'll be sloppy given the rain that we've had this week.
The weather doesn't look too bsd for tomorrow though. I'm braving Hopton.
🙁 - cannock again then ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
cheers
The route you're looking at will be fine.
Apart from the top bit of Minton Batch which might be a bit muddy.
Nah I think you will be fine on the Mynd - it will be wet of course but not boggy except for 1 or 2 spots. Id recommend staying on the East side of the hills though where the descents are nice and rocky.
I cant see your route for some reason but if you drop down the west side of the hills you will encounter lots of mud, animal poop and farmers fields... and no interesting riding - or none that I have found.
West side has plenty of entertainment, but generally shorter than the east side. Minton Batch will be wet but only the very top will be muddy.
#5 htfu!
Cannock'll be puddletastic. The minge will be an adventure in this weather.
Cannock will be the land of the fire road diversion 🙁
It will be as stu says points 1-3 will be hardly boggy at all!
