Winter time Soft trails
Now that winter is set in the trails are turning soggy, slippy yet grass and soft muddy trails. Please stick to the main trails to minimise damage, ride through rather than round puddles to prevent the traills widening

Minton Batch Storm Damage 
At the bottom of Minton Batch a couple of parts of the trail have been claimed by the stream: Ride with caution.

Top of the Batch Soft conditions
At the top of Batch Valley near Jinlye conditions remain boggy, keep to the board walk to protect the trail getting wider and cut up.
