I went once and vowed not to go back until I’d got bored of every other trail center in the country. £7 isn’t good VFM, yes you may be able to watch a film for less but cinema’s have to pay a lot of money to buy the films, pay the rent on the building, rates, staff overheads, gas bills etc etc….
Most forests have a timber income and whilst I don’t expect to ride for free £7 ‘to use a toll road’ is a pisssss take. You can drive down the M6 toll for less. And then once you get on the trail it’s one of the most boring, featureless trails I’ve ridden. Not a single distinguishable feature that made me want to go back.
That said I followed the red route and didn’t do the world cup stage but it was never pointed out well enough to give it a try
