Trail Conditions in the Peaks

Loafski

Howdie,

We're thinking of a trip up to the Peaks this weekend to ride the Hope valley. Can any of you locals give us the lowdown on the conditions? I've heard its still a bit icy up there :?:

Hoping to get to Ladybower this weekend- Snake pass still shut according to the Beeb.

Everything around there will be very water logged, it was before all the snow so it will probably be a lot worse now.

The snake is still closed but will probably be open for the weekend if the weather stays like this.

I might get over that way on Thursday for a quick blast so if I do I'll let you know

If the snow that's due on Weds actually happens then the Snake pass will still be closed.Its been closed for 2 weeks now :roll:

I had a bit of look round on Sunday on the trails were still very icy. A lot of the snow had gone, but where it's started to melt and re-frozen it's unrideable. The latest weather forecast for this week is a bit milder with a lot of rain. I'd expect the majority of the snow and ice to be gone by the weekend, but expect it the ground to be very, very wet.

Cheers for the heads up guys. I reckon we might go ahead with it. Wherever we ride its gonna be a slog this weekend so might aswell embrace it fully and head for the Peaks

It was very wet yesterday with 4 foot deep snow drifts in places. Expect quite a lot of walking.
