Man of Honour
If it's wet, the rocks will be somewhat slippery. Not as bad as Lakeland slate slippery, but certainly not as nice as Stainburn's millstone grit rock 
As mattyfez said there's only a couple of hairy bits. One of which is just a short bit after Dixon's Hollow... maybe 3-5 posts past it... you go down some log steps, then back up the other side of the "valley" onto a bit of fire road for a hundred yards or so, if that, then back onto singletrack and if memory serves me correctly, it's just there as it doubles back on itself Medusa's drop - a little mini rock garden feature, that then kinda winds its way down the hill, hairpin style until you come out at the bottom. Those hairpins were definitely bum twitching moments.
Then sometime after post 26 (I forgot which) there's a feature called something - thought it was Medusa's drop but apparently not - that's that first thing oh it's this - Vera Lynn

That's 3-4 pretty big rock steps down, followed immediately by a thin track that's got annoying tree stumps ready to catch your feet on - then a rocky berm that can get slippy when moist. Easy enough to just stick to the gravel side though, but it doesn't give you as good a line. That's followed by a bermy descent back to fire road... and after that.. there's nothing really, feature-wise... other than some climbs and descents, and a nice bit that's long and straight and you can get some fun speed up on
