Terrible
The trail as a whole is smashed. The “hope” line is possibly the worst jump line in the uk. Throughout the forest the berms don’t line up, this is especially visible on “28 berms”. Long way down appears to still not be finished. The log section is still closed after over 2 and a half years due to fallen trees. “There was rythm” never had any rhythm. The cafe is just too slow, they should never have kicked the two ladies of from the butty van.

Non

Missing it’s potential.
This could be a fantastic trail center but for me it’s let down by too many over technical climbs. I can complete Llandegla, Whinlatter and most other red trails without ever putting a foot down but it’s impossible at Gisburn.
Most riders want some technical climbs to link the flows and downhills together but You can’t do that here (wet or dry)
Some of the climbs would be more suited as downhill sections if you could ride them reverse. Probably won’t visit again which is a shame.
What do you like?
Great location.
Decent toilets.
Good parking
Some great sections of trail.
What could be improved?
Lack of flow on Red trail
Let down by too many unridable technical climbs
Some sections of trail in poor repair
Huge deep puddles after rain.
Would you recommend?
*No*
