Anyone ridden here? Looking to head up on Saturday, little concerned as I've read that it's a bit flat and pedally, then again that was also by people to claimed the blue run was very technical. Some first hand experience would be lovely  |

Yes we did, both really enjoyed it - never had time to do the bike park bit but the blue and red was just a real fun blast. No real climbing as such, all very swoopy and bermy with a lovely singletrack section through tight tress on the red.
Not very technical but if you like fast, swoopy, bermy and jumpy - it's great. I'd deffo go back again.

Ooh, we went mid week and I got the impression that it would be pretty busy on a weekend, it was pretty busy on a Wednesday - very good visitors centre and cafe too.

Sounds good then! Looks like we'll be leaving early to get a parking space! Might have to work on my "STRAVA" shout to be able to pass people. I like swoopy and fast, and jumpy. Hate climbing though, so this should be a good one! We'll probably hit the DH for a bit as well.

Same as me. Let us know what you think of the place afterwards. Hope I haven't built it up too much!

I don't mind uphill, I just don't like big steep ups followed by small sections of down is all. I sometimes think I'd be better suited to downhilling..

I thought it was utter shite on par with Sherwood Pines, but I did go on the most miserable cold wet rainy day that I've ever rode in. It also killed 4 sets of brake pads, a chain and a free hub between the five of us that went.

I can see why then H. We went on a glorious, warm, dry, sunny day - no mechanicals or feck all. S'pose it's got to colour your perception.
