... are there any old hands out there prepared to make a prediction on track conditions?

My pack with food but no water or cannister is already 11kg so I''d like to avoid taking an extra trekking pole. Also I really hate rain pants and use gaiters and a rain skirt instead. So I'd rather not take them either. At this stage only Sunday looks like a shocker, the other days are looking nice or OK.
