Summary:
REBUILT AT START OF 2012

Review:
Original set was completely flattened and new jumps built by some co. in Wales
There is now a roller/pump track line
A line of table tops
A line of semi cut out table tops
A line of doubles
A big set with a hip line too (last landing on the hip line is big enough to do some tricks)
Littering is still a problem, but regulars sporadicaly do a clear up of rubbish and dig to try keep the jumps nice

its what you make of it

Review:
is it downhill....well not really but its a good place to practice a few drops etc...build some confidence and speed up before venturing further a field to try more challenging stuff.....there is a few other features ...such as a tasty road gap....and some large new doubles to hit...but if your going to pay a visit then bring your pedaling legs with you.... i learnt to ride here and its my closest track so im going to give it a biased 9/10...not as a dh venue....but as somewhere to learn your skills.

Summary:
well built but stretched out

Review:
The parts of this trail which have been built on, corners, north shore, rock jumps etc are very nicely built. However the runs feel like an obstacle, then a long section of flat and wide trail to the next obstacle. Its not steep enough either. The routes all cross over as well, so its kind of hard to find the best run down and also i imagine on a busy day it can be quite dangerous. As has already been said nothing on there is that hard, so why the extreme trail grade rating? Its a good effort, shame the natural terrain does nothing for it.

Summary:
flat

Review:
I didn't really enjoy the loop. Firstly its just too flat, and this meant it was almost all slightly uphill and for little gain. Then half the trail was almost unrideable from thick mud which made it generally slow and boring.

The facilities were very good, but they had no bike wash.
