Review:
I know that we have to climb to be rewarded with epic down hill single track, but my friends and I were pretty uninspired with "The Wall" until we got to the last descent! it was fast and furious and just what we had been waiting for! It rescued the reputation of the wall! If you want lots of single track, then Whites level in my mind is the trail to ride, it has it all!

Review:
rode this following and mbuk rave review about how great it was, really didn't like it the first climb it was horrible and never really got any flow. the final downhill was really good fun. I think you would need to ride this several times to get the most out of it but it was such a long drive from the midlands that I wouldn't do it again, this is a short vid of our visit http://www.pinkbike.com/video/55266/

Enjoyable burn

Review:
Fireroads are just a necessary part of height gain if you want the good stuff on the way down so people, stop moaning or go back to London.....anyway The Wall has excellent singletrack ascent and descent and if you're not racing anyone, you could easily do 2 laps in a day. Just be patient on the climbs. Ignore the skull and crossbone trail markers! The only criticism of this trail is the rocky section in the graveyard. You can't ride it even with a reasonable degree of handling skill so definitely doesn't belong on a red-graded trail. Anyone who says different needs to prove their skills on Youtube....I will personally kiss your riding shoes if you can do this! In short, a good little burn. Make sure you have enough on your pads!
