I was there the other day. conditions are great considering. It actually didnae seem that slippy or rooty. One section to look out for is after the twisty trees bit which brings you out at a pond, you head down the fireroad. When you cut back into the trail its a very fast section, one area right at the start has been slightly washed away and its a wee bit precarious. Other than that business as usual.Last year Gazz and I completed the red with the black end and then went back and done the black start. This worked quite well, if you don't fancy it stay at the carpark if you do your warmed up and trail ready enough to do it. Nothing is impossible retro but you might mince a few bits, good to have a wee sessioning bit on some of the obsatcles. Reckon the black start takes 30 mins or so but its worth it. Either that or do the lot.
