Summary:
Fast, fast flowing trail with a big climb at the start

Review:
Slightly different from the other trails in the area. A big old climb at the start with some interesting sections rather than fireroad on the way up. A new freeride section at the top whilst fun could do with looking at smoother trails like spooky wood in Glentress, as some of the lines are off and could be positioned a little more naturally to get the most from the work put in. Best bit is it is the freeride area is easy to section as the short climb back up is obvious and direct. The remaining singletrack for the remainder of the trail is very fast and flowing in places. Great place to tackle learning front wheel drifts! Just be careful not to stack it at these speeds! Drains well and is reasonably suitable for beginners that are fit enough. No black sections, trail should be graded red.

Superb Trail!!

Review:
This is a superb trail with everything you could wish for. The first half is a nasty continuous climb, but the top section and the descent really makes up for it. The descending is so fast in places it's scary. Taking only 40mins from Bristol, I rode this trail about five times last year and the trail was pretty dry everytime!
