Altura trail (North & South)

What do you like?

superb trail had me grinning from ear to ear. A tough slog uphill for 2 or 3 miles but soon over with a mix of interesting switchback uphill single track with a bit of an uphill fire road slog on I think the North loop. However, the pay off is epic, with down hill swooping single track pretty much all the way down with a few jumps and rooty drop offs along the way. The views are some of the best I have had the privellage to ride in and the trail allows a great rest stop in the middle so you can recharge your batteries bedfore flying around the other loop. I love this trail and for me the best trail in England!

What could be improved?

bit of a fire road slog on (I think) the North loop uphill - this could change to be a bit more interesting

Would you recommend?

*Yes*
