A neat surprise not too far from home

I don't normally go this way and didn't have too high expectations but found myself nearby so thought I'd give it a try. I was very pleasantly surprised. 

The XC is very short but it is what it it says it is i.e. the blue is blue (flowing and wide), red sections are a red with rollers and jumps, few rocks thrown in, (bit tame still for a English red mind) and the black is a black (two short sections) are very rocky and have  a couple of quite technical drops and turns to warrant it's grading. You need to ride it a good number of times due to it's length.

I think I will return with the family as I can have play on the reds and black and my step daughter will love the BMX track, the skate park and the blue. Decent cafe too (with a pool table). You can hire bikes and helmets and it costs to ride (think it was £4.50 plus a quid for the car park). It's a bit like Redbridge cycling centre / Hog Hill set up if you been there. 

What do you like?

- XC - Blue is a blue  and black is a black. 
- Decent BMX track
- Free bike wash. 
- Good facilities
- Well run

What could be improved?

- Loop is short
- reds could be a bit more redish. 

Would you recommend?

*Yes*
