   Hamsterley is my "local" trail centre. I believe that the xc routes are worth the effort. There is along fire road climb half way through the red route, but the run down, is, I think worth the effort.
   The black route is a bit more technically challenging, but again, I reckon the final "run in" is worth the effort.
   Depends what you want from a day, I guess.
   How far are you travelling?

   i did the black for the first time in years a few weeks ago - had a good day, the new stuff like section 13 is great too. seems to be plenty of new dh trails built since i used to ride dh there around 7 years ago - i didn't have time to ride any but will be going back with my asx soon you'll have plenty to have a go at i reckon

   If you need a guide for the xc I am off monday and would be happy to show you my way of joining the red/black/offpiste bits together - any excuse to go riding!
