    I started off looking for an uplift, until I realised that Gawton has stopped it temporarily. Is the push-up bad there?

    Alternatively? Any uplift recommendations?

    I am just south of London and willing to travel. Given that Gawton is around 230 miles away, that brings into play Revolution Bike Park as well, and maybe others I haven’t thought of.

    Any suggestions?

    Forest of Dean and Cwmcarn are good fun.

    I’ve done Cwmcarn quite a lot. I’ve also been to FOD once. It was good but I’m not sure if I’d rush back.

    Antur Stiniog – N Wales – awesome tracks and excellent uplift

    Clicky Linky

    Bike Park Wales -if you can book an uplift as it’s mega mega mega busy

    Also done FOD (once) it was OK, but won’t be rushing back. Cwmcarn I’ve ridden a lot, which leaves some of the N Wales and more local stuff….some push up locations in the South but nothing with an uplift 🙁

    I looked at Antur Stiniog and it’s an option. It’s just a fair bit further to drive than Revolution.

    Edit: Oh, and nothing available at BPW for a couple of months. Plus, I’ve heard mixed things about it as a DH venue.

    I heartily recommend Triscombe, near Taunton, especially if you like your steep rooty tech riding.

    It’s a pretty easy journey from Londontown. Much closer than Gawton!

    And Bike Park Wales seconded, if you can get a spot on the uplift!

    I’ve ridden at Triscombe, but pushed up, which wasn’t pleasant. Oh, and it was wet too.

    I’d forgotten they do an uplift. I my have to get in touch with them. Cheers.

    Oh, and I do like my steep, rooty, tech riding :mrgreen:
