Summary:
Terrible

Review:
possibly the most boring bike ride of my life. i had heard that there was a 6 mile black xc ride but that was non existant the blue ride was just boring forest rode. the waymarking is terrible. you need to have a local to show you arround the amazing singletrack that is there. there is supposed to be building going on but i saw none of this. the northshore was nonexistant and so was the downhill tracks and the dual slalom track. grr

Review:
supposed to be great new build but they are battered and completely waterlogged so almost unrideable. there was litter everywhere and it was like a pond. i thought there was alot of money being put into this place but there obv isnt. the sign posting is terrible i just stumbled across the jumps! the northshore downhill and ds track in non existant as is the black 'world class' xc ride not very happy. but there was some good learner stuff ther up to some huge doubles which was good.

Summary:
Just like Thetford Forest......

Review:
I drove in and too my suprise it was like driving into Thetford Forest, same signs, same barriers etc. The trails are similar but I think are slightly steeper than Thetford. The off road dirt track wasn't what I expected, from the reviews I thought it was a trail which is suitable for beginners with little jumps and tabletops etc but I all I could find was big jumps and tracks in the woods which I was quite dissapointed with. As for a great days riding and good food at the cafe it is certainly worth the trip. I would definately go back and do it again.

Summary:
Great sheltered spot and four great lines

Review:
Spent the morning up there today, nice and sheltered from the wind and three different sets with the hardest splitting half way down. Nobody about except me and the dog today, glorious. I did spend 20 mins clearing rubbish though but i dont mind this.

Summary:
Good Jumps for beginers and experts.

Review:
Personally I love these jumps.
There are 3 sets,
One for experts, intermediate and beginners.
The expert one has some big doubles, the beginers has small table tops and intermediate has both,
I learnt to jump here so I think its great!
