There's a group of us going this weekend and, obviously, what with it being July and all, the forecast is for quite a lot of rain.

What's it like in the wet? Any particular bits to avoid?

A lot of the clImbs and descents are adjacent to streams so can be more demanding after rain when the water level us high. The top of the Mynd is pretty good in most weathers with only a few particularly boggy areas. I wouldn't avoid most of it in the wet, although I have never particularly enjoyed the bottom of Minton Batch on wetter days. You can find several cheeky descents which are largely rocky and are highly ridable downhill in most weathers.

Cheers for that.

Given the forecast, I think a fair bit of time may be spent in the pub.
