Im doing it in early May so I will let you know. Sounds like it will be snowy and that will compund the problems with ice etc on the decent if your going down the same way.
Thanks for trying to be helpful. May last year was a horrific, waist deep snow plod. I'm hoping April might offer some greater stability???
