Cup cake in wet weather

It's looking quite wet this coming weekend.

However, we need to go back into Cupcake to get all our gear back before it goes rusty. How bad does it have to be to sump trough, can the original diggers tell me? It also says the you-bend thing can sump too, but there is no evidence of water there after it had rained quite a bit, i.e. it was bone dry.

I guess we also have the main stream to contend with, which was brown a frothy on Saturday last weekend but the Cupcake itself was fine.

Feck it, I will try to get a few together for an evening trip tomorrow. I don't think I should go down there with flood warnings on the met-office for Friday and Saturday.

It doesn't take a lot to fill the Horse Trough and make it very unpleasant to attempt to pass. Would leave it well alone and go sooner as you suggest.
