^grahams:
The grades are all over the place. Home Baked (red) for example is waaay beyond my abilities but Hope Line is mainly pretty easy.
What do you like?
Lots of variety and plenty of singletrack with not too much on forest roads. The scenery, particularly from the Whelpstone craglets at the top of the hill, is unbeatable.
What could be improved?
None.
Would you recommend?

Gisburn forest
We feel very lucky having gisburn in our door step
What do you like?
Technically very good trails helping you to improve your riding skills.
It's challenging for all abilities in different ways. The trails & DH line make the most of the landscape so much so that even though I'm a regular there I always really look forward to going again.
What could be improved?
Blue route needs a bit of thinking out as 'the snake' ( start from the hub car park) scarred my 6 year old so much he nearly went home on his first visit. Even with good bike skills he found it not possible for him to ride down that part. But proper loved it after that
Would you recommend?
*Yes*

Rocky and rooty nightmare
I visited here in Aug 16. My first impressions were how good the carparking was and it is in a real nice scenic location. But the red trail is the worst surface that Ive ever came across. I found the climbs and flat sections impassable in SPDs because the very large rocks and roots in the trail stopped any momentum or flow. I wasn't enjoying this at all. Some of the junctions are badly sign posted and I ended up going past two of them, then theres no indication you're off-route and you could end up going for miles along the fire roads. All this for 10 minutes of ok downhill.
To be honest I had more fun on sections where it joined onto the blue route and in a bizarre way I was relieved when I made it back to the carpark, "thank God thats over". Technically difficult doesnt always equal fun, especially when its so technically difficult you're hardly getting anywhere.
What do you like?
Real nice scenery and a big carpark.
What could be improved?
The red trail surface is absolute terrible. With large rocks, boulders and roots on the climbs and flats.
Would you recommend?
*No*
