If the Rune is fully running and my dropper has arrived I'll be there. Might be 0930 to allow for my lazy ass to get out of bed!

Sorry chaps - bloody gutted I'm on days - just had 9 off as well. bad timing.
I can tell you though (just got back) that the trails are running beautiful and fast. Just got a PB on the cliffs and I wasn't really going for it.
Enjoy!

Ive never been there so it obviously interests me...but I'm not sure which sections are the best there too and if you guys are planning to do them...or if i shall wait for another opportunity?! |

Marked trails are running fast mate - very fast. Unfortunately though, the cheekies (my favourites over the marked stuff) are still a gloopy mess.
If you just do a loop of the Donkey though - you get a bloody good workout and there is enough technicality to keep most standards 'interested'.
Unfortunately, it's also the busiest trail centre in the country, so on a sunny weekend it'll be hellish on the marked stuff.
Wait a few weeks and me and Mr Beans can show you some really nice off piste stuff.
Today was perfect though, me and a lad from work on the marked stuff - probably saw 6 other riders the whole ride - brilliant.

When i go there, i would like to do the best bits, marked and non-marked of course. We are both shift workers so we are off loads in midweek. We can spend the day and show you marked and unmarked. In fact - beansy was on about the other day we've got to do a 50 miler this summer (all off road, all proper trails - no blue bimbling)  He had been on the pink cider though so I hope he forgets about it  Yes, we'll get summat arranged. |

Don't worry Sarky - his battery would be flat when he turned up or he'd have put the wrong fuses in, or summat  |

So what about this Saturday the 30th? I'm off and myself and a mate might head up, throw in a little stile cop as well possibly.
If the weather keeps up being as nice as it is down here, the cheekies may be dry?
