im having the same dilema.

the fresh sections are going to get cut up pretty bad i think so if it rains its wet screams all the way, but the middle section is where your going to want highrollers rain or no rain

im running wets as its the only 2.5 i have and i really want a 2.5 up front for saturday

And would anyone in the vicinity care to tell us what the weather is currently doing there?  The BBC is implying that it's going to be pissing down the whole time, but Metcheck says that it's only going to rain Fri and Sat nights, and then Sunday.
At the moment my mud wheels have gone AWOL so I'm stuck on 16s I think!

we have been having pretty regular showers all week, some heavy some light but the rains been heavier and more prolonged in the nights.

i think we will get away with it on saturday in terms of getting pi**ed on but the ground will be holding a fair amount of water on the new sections

Ah well - I need to get there early enough to at least walk the bottom section anyway, so I guess that if I find my muds, I can put them on tomorrow.
Swamp Donkeys sound like the way forward but I haven't got any of them!
