[Closed] What are the chances of Cutgate being worth a spin yet?

I need to pop to Manchester from Lincoln to pick something up on Sat and am lobbing the bike in the boot to ride something proper. Sat nav suggest woodhead pass so Langsett up to Cutgate and across is a logical start. I have only ridden Cutgate once and loved it but it was high summer and I know its got a rep for being a bogfest. If its going to be a soggy mess I'll take a different route back and try another route.

Also is Greno Woods worth it on your own or is it more of a session it with mates and egg each other on sort of place?

We have been up onto Cutgate from Langsett the last two weekends. It has been as dry as Ive seen it in a very long time and we havent had much rain since.

Was also in Greno and Wharncliffe last Sunday. The trails were dry and fast in both however the Greno side was heaving at times with the amount of riders, hardly anyone on the Wharncliffe side.

After yesterdays visit I can can confirm its every bit as excellent as I remembered. There are a couple of boggy bits but not many. Most fun I have had on the bike yet this year (I do however live in Lincoln so start from a low(flat) baseline) .
