We've had relatively little rain of late in the area so I would expect it to be wearing its summer coat.

Take them up over Ringing Roger and walk East or dirctly north over to the northern edge. You'll avoid the worst bogs, regardless of the weather, and the crowds in Grindsbrook.

Near drought conditions generally yes, but even then there must still be loads of black holes up thar.
I was up last Thursday and it was *dry* - I'm not sure if there has been any significant rain since then. There were notices down in the valley about risk of fire. It was the first time I've managed to get up there when the sun is shining - it was like a different place.
