    Going to be up there around lunch time tomorrow if anyone is keen? Driving up from Oxford so times might be a little sketchy.

    I'll be starting out at about 8 – 9 ish so should be there around 1 – 2 depending on the traffic. Going up to Lakes for weekend so wanted to try it out on the way up.

    It's been pretty dry for weeks, so the destroyed bits should be reasonable.

    I'm planning to be there myself for around 1pm or 2pm. Leaving work early as a little celebration for finishing a BRC Audit 😀

    I should be there for around that time, will be riding a Specialized Pitch Pro, keep an eye out as i'll be more than happy to ride with others. I'm hoping it will be bone dry and really quick….

    I'll be in a heap at the bottom of the slab somewhere. Yes, top nosh at the D&P too which is probably the best place to park BUT if you don't know the trail locations you may struggle to find the best place to start.

    Met a fella up at Gisburn near the slab had a nice chat with him and promised to post a couple of pics I took as he was coming down the trail. Nice to meet you 🙂 Seems like a lot of the surfacing sand has dissapeared in the last few weeks with all the dry weather too!

    I did make it up there, but was a little later than i first thought due to a little bit of traffic. Was very impressed though for an English trail centre, been thought out well and there are some nice little sections. Quite like the slab section, reminds me a little of the rock shoot at McMoab. Shame the rollercoaster section was closed, would have liked to try that. Maybe next time though.
