I'm looking at visiting the dark Peak in February (2/3) - does anyone know what condition the routes are generally in?

We were around Ladybower today and some parts still had snow ranging from ankle to thigh deep :roll: It was hard going in places but should be ok in a week or so if we have no more snow.

Any more updates on post weekend conditions at ladybower, I'm thinking it might turn to a mud bog when / if the snow melts like eveywhere else, should be up there for my 2nd visit on thursday, this will be my route .
