Are there any locals that can tell me whether a trip to Ladybower would be worthwhile this Saturday (8/12/12) considering the recent snow flurries. Is it bad up there, or are the trails still rideable enough despite a dusting? If so, let us know your preferred runs so I can get route planning!

It’ll be fine in anything other than thick snow. And even then, in fact! Just be careful of frozen rocks in any exposed bits.

How long of a route?

There’s not really much snow up here, sorry. Most of its rideable regardless, though I’d steer clear of Whinstone Lee Tor unless it’s sub-zero and the ground has frozen solid. It’s a mess otherwise.

Blackley Hey can freeze quite badly too, though looking at the forecast for the weekend I wouldn’t be too worried.

It was a bit icy in places last saturday 🙂
