Mike:
Awesome trail centre with loads of new stuff being built
I ride mountain bike trail centres all over the country and, although this place is essentially my local centre, I rate it way up there among the best.
Masses of money seems to have been spent up on the trails and loads of man-hours building new stuff that has totally transformed the place into a centre thats worth travelling to from a-far.
Why am I writing this... I like my quiet trail centre, in fact just dont some to visit as it means you will get in my way !
What do you like?
Variety on the whole trail... steep ups, good downs, logs, bumps, rocks, boardwalks, water, it just goes on and on... we are competent riders riding here all the time but at 45 years old, it takes us about 1 hour 45 to get round when we do everything... but if you havent been before probably about 2 hours so worth travelling to... try the bacon butties in the cafe too as they are awesome, generous and thick cut local pork, cant beat it after a mornings ride.
What could be improved?
6.30pm riding in summer brings out the midges so bring some cream to ward them off !
More people are visiting - and its great to see - but we're seeing an increase in the litter being dropped... loads of picking it up so no way is it really a bad point at all BUT if you do come, take your litter home with you !
Would you recommend?
*Yes*
