Good fun Red Route

First Time At AE trails and did the red route. First off to do the red route you need a bit of base fitness otherwise might feel a slog, im by no means fit but fit enough. If your after a XC training day with some trails, this couldn't be better. I would say im comfy on red trails, black i keich myself(for reference). Overall a great day out and a bit different from my usual, of the trail sections "green granny love" is pretty mild, swooping through woodlands, one big slab i didnt see coming and didnt make it over, will try next time "The Face" was fun, although bone crunching switch backs(well was for my 100mm hardtail) - want another crack at that "Bran bash" was fast and fun, simples "the edge"I think was my favourite, technical enough for me with some berms, small drops winding all the way down, even some roots in there - great fun "nil desperadum" / top half of "omega man" - was good but tough as i need to get my fitness up to pedal through all of it, but the downs were rocky and great fun to blas through "omega man lower" good fun but did not do it justice..... might be fun to start here before doing a whole red route! didnt do shredder but sounds fun for the full downhillers

What do you like?

Something for everyone not as busy as other 7 stanes trail centres Good Variety

What could be improved?

....wish Omega man was at the start when im not knackered not clear on the route for final red descent into omega man(sign saying no riding.... but thats the way) ....... coffee shop was almost as slow as mabie's coffee shop..... my god people how long does a coffee take

Would you recommend?
