If it's anything like the rest of the trails round there, it'll be bone dry. Not been down Roman Lakes recently but I've been along the canal and over some of the higher trails over Marple/Strines way and it's all dusty.

It's amazing.
The ruts are wider and less muddy.
Trails all dry and actually have dust!
The only thing I found tricky was the descent down 'the Banks' which is loose atm as is the climb up to the New Mills golf club from the Fox Inn at Brook bottom.
