Looking at doing Swinley over Xmas, does it get muddy? Will I need my skinny mud tyres (Storm Controls) or will I be ok with my wider Purgatorys??

Problem is my Storm Controls puncture/split easily and rather not risk it

    The official trails are generally firm, just a bit slippery when wet. Some of the linking fireroads can get a bit boggy, but mud tyres would be useless for 99% of it.

    Off piste can get puddly in places, but as there is no off piste, which doen't actually exist, it shouldn't be a problem.

    Cheers, I'll go back to the Purgatorys
  • Maxxis high rollers, it never gets muddy there, you get muddy water but not MUD. Never had an issue with lack of grip with high rollers.
