Had planned to ride a loop from Staveley tomorrow, taking in Garburn Pass and Nan Bield. Anyone know what the trail conditions are right now? Obviously we're keeping a close eye on the forecast. Ta.

I'm in venison now, passed staveley ont way in, no snow in the towns, I can see snow high up on the fells but suspect it's just light covering.

TBH "in venison" did conjure up some less than legal mental images ๐Ÿ˜†
