Thinking of giving the South Downs Way a go this week on the Singlespeed. Wondering if anyone has been out recently on the trail and what it's like after the recent wet weather. How's it holding up?
Its been pretty wet and horrid around Chichester the last few days so I suspect it might be a bit of a slidey mess right now.....
Very day-dependent at the Winchester end at the moment. Muddy holes in places but the big puddles aren't at their winter levels at all and exposed ground is drying fast. Under tree cover there are both wetter bits and drier bits, but plenty of green slippy chalk.
Heavy rain is forecast all day Thursday, but just a few showers after that. Suspect Saturday will still be messy on the ground, better by Sunday and probably pretty good next week.
I'd go for the following weekend if I could - dry week in the lead up, it'll be ideal.
Thanks. That's what I suspected. When's the Summer coming back..?
