Rain Forecast
So as the forecasts say rain, rain and perhaps some more rain in the Llanbrymair area between now and the 12th (and a fair bit on the 12th) can the locals tell us how boggy it currently is?
All the time and expense I've spent on super light very skinny wheels might have been for nothing then. Fat floaty ones might well be best!
That and a life jacket.

Re: Rain Forecast
Yes it's rained a lot but the ground is very quick to drain. Anything that is a bog, remains bog no matter what the weather does and I can only think of one 'boggy' bit. There is a 'bit with puddles' too but again that's got puddles even in the height of summer and they don't really increase in size with additional rain.
May the bridges you burn light your way

Re: Rain Forecast
Look how quick it is to drain - every stream is now a deep fast river, and every track is a stream. Looks like another opportunity to earn your 50 metre swimming badgeBearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 9:27 am Yes it's rained a lot but the ground is very quick to drain.
