Green	10 years	The trails were unexpectedly good today. Koi ponds in the usual areas on the way up from the sports academy and around motocross madness, but all single track in really good nick.	view
Amber	10 years	Rather inconsistent today. The isolated showers last night have left standing water in places, mainly on the open rock areas and on parts of the single track. However, in some spots, the rain has...	view
Green	10 years	Water in the usual places. Plenty of drivetrain eating sand. All good.	view

Green	11 years	Despite a few drops, Red hill is as dry as it can get!	view
Green	11 years		view
Green	11 years		view

Amber	11 years	If you know how to link it up and keep away from the mud then okay with some puddles. Remember to ride through the puddles so the track doesn't widen. I wouldn't go near Lady Penrhyn, XC...	view

Amber	12 years	Went up there today and is wet in places. I am giving this an Amber because it is ridable but not ideal.	view

Red	12 years	If it does't rain any more, it should be great by February.	view
Amber	12 years	Theres plenty of puddles around but with a firm base (please ride through, not around them - they're generally a couple of inches deep). If ridden slowly, you rem in pretty dry and clean. ...	view

Amber	12 years	i rode red hill this evening-if your heading out there wear gumboots-or maybe waders!unfortunately the motos have torn the s@#$t out of it as well so there is some major erosion on most of the...	view
Amber	12 years	Although still quite wet on the firetrails in the usual places, most of the good stuff up top is relatively dry. I didn't ride the Beacon Hill end because it isn't much fun and the red clay would...	view

Red	13 years	This is a little late, but I went up to red hill on friday arvo for a quick exploratory ride, and was amazed at how wet it still was. Most of the trails running down from the top were more...	view

Green	13 years	Dry as, sandy in places and the rocks are as hard as ever.	view

Amber	13 years	Went for a run along the main trail and was surprised how good the trail has coped with the rain. There are the usual puddles and grit sections but very rideable-wished I'd taken the bike!	view

Green	13 years	I was up there last night. It has some of the standard puddles, but it is the driest i have ever seen it over the past 15 years I have been up there.	view

Red	14 years	SOAKED TO THE BONE...	view
Green	14 years	Despite there still being a few puddles about - I'm giving this a green. I don't get why this area hasn't managed to totally dry out yet, as it hasn't rained for weeks and the terrain is all on...	view
Amber	14 years	not too bad, but a solid amber me thinks	view
Green	14 years	sandy	view
Amber	14 years	Slightly drier than 2 weeks ago, but still some puddles & boggy sections that should be walked. I don't think I can call it Green, just yet. No snakes, but!	view
Amber	14 years	The rim ride is mostly dry, just one or two small puddles. But there's still some larger deep puddles at Mr MotoX, Garden of Gullies & Cromer Connector that are difficult to avoid....	view
Amber	14 years	Green for most of it, the rim ride is dry , but still boggy on the cromer connector side, so I'm giving it an amber.	view
Red	14 years	Had a look up behind the acadamy this arvo. still wet, not as much as i thought there would be. Should be ok by the weekend if the weather gods smile on us.	view

Red	14 years	Went for a ride this arvo and the majority of the track is good to go but some sections are still saturated and the usual large puddles are still very deep (some axle depth). Providing we...	view
Red	14 years	very wet, I'm amazed by the erosion damage caused by the Saturday night deluge.. amazing! won't be dry for ages 8-(	view
Amber	14 years	Water water water everywhere... I'd give it a red but it really is kinda ride-able if you like sandy mud and don't care about your bike. Give it a few days.	view
Green	14 years	Surprised to find only the occasional small puddle on the sandstone ridgetops - I thought it'd be damper. Watch out for the motoX guys, though - just some kids having a bit of fun, but it...	view
Green	14 years	seems to have held up well to the recent rain, a few small puddles but all the clay parts seem to be dry enough and thus great for a ride.	view
Green	14 years	ohh goody its "sandy" again.	view
Amber	14 years	went up late yesterday for a look ( on foot ) not too bad, usual trouble spots but generally OK for a ride. Overnight rain was not too heavy so should be still passable later today,...	view

Amber	15 years	Water in all the usual low lying places. Lotsa moto-crossers there tearing it up on Saturday.	view
Amber	15 years	Not much has changed from the previous entries. Still extremely wet on the main trails and plenty of sandy bogs from the motos. I would say the main link trails are borderline red / yellow, there...	view
Amber	15 years	Just another update on RH. Its still gross in there. Keeping it amber as its rideable, but just not pleasant. The motos have shredded the place to bits and there are deep clay/mud gouges cut...	view
Amber	15 years	Just back from an exploratory ride. Very wet. Deep mud in the usual places. Lots of motorcycle tracks. I'm giving it amber because it is rideable. But you'd be crazy to do it. I suggest...	view
