Alrighty.
I know it's early but looking to see whos all interested in this for 2015 and also to see what dates we can all work around, I'm not to sure when it reopens for the season yet but will most likely be around April/May time
If you're interested then wack your name down, last time there was only a few of us who made the trip but it was still a great few days

Not for me ...don't do / not skilled enough for full on downhill ..but if I was heading that far north I would just keep on going up to Torridon ,Applecross etc for some proper riding ! Lol

Can you hire a downhill bike up there? Yes they hire out Saracen Myst Pro's at £70 a day or you could just use your El Guapo, I used my Commencal on one of the days I was up and it was fine, you just can't go as fast as you would a big rig

For those that don't want to do the full on downhill, you also have a load of other trails, XC, blue and green downhill and also the Red Downhill, failing that there also loads of other trails around the area

Yep I'm a total non jumping, non DH pussy but if there is stuff there for me I'd be interested. Just need a weekend pass from the Wife, as we have an 'agreement' that all my all day biking is in the week, weekends are mornings only but I'll say it's a stag do or summat
