Flat but fun
(Coming from the Cheviots) its flat it's fun, and if you're fit it's really fast....
much of it (apart from the bits in the pine tree stands) is usually not too muddy.
Signage not 100% and I've met other strangers who've got lost.
Other riders are too a man really friendly,
where else would a complete stranger let you vanish into the distance on his new single speed ridgid 29er.. well maybe he knew I wouldn't go far :).
The Thetford Trailbuilders twitter feed is very useful, up to date, not too many tweets just the current trails conditions and issues we all need to know.
What do you like?
If you aren't fit it isn't quite so obvious...
If it's not too busy a good and friendly LBS on site.
VERY family friendly.
Always some of the trails rideable, although not all trails/ sections of the trails when it's really really wet..
Caff OK, not the legendary HUB at Glentress, but more than adequate.
I used to balk at the car parking charges..but hey someone has to pay the workers, and it's a good deal because you can realistically stay for a good half day, riding the trails and then after lunch play in the bomb holes.
What could be improved?
It is flat.......so no North Shore (when I was last there in 2012..)
no hairy bits to scare you Sh*$Less.
Not much in the way of techie rock gardens etc.
The mud is very acid, you really have to use the on site (only a quid) bike wash otherwise chains etc. rust real fast.
Would you recommend?
*Yes*
