Considering the Dunsop Fell route from Novembers MBR this weekend, weather looks decent but article recommends its one for dryer conditions, anyone have any insight into trail / fell conditions up there at the moment?

Reckon it will be fine or best left for dryer times?

Anyone done the route out of interest?

You think it may be best saved for another day, would you recommend the ride?

This [url= http://www.bogtrotters.org/show_album.php?album_id=852 ]Bogtrotters ride[/url] followed a better route, looping round Dunsop Fell, then following the River Dunsop back to Dunsop Bridge. The photos speak for themselves (with a bit of help from SFB)!!!

Needs to be dry. Very dry ie not now. Good old school xc ride when it's dry.
