It’s got everything I dislike about ‘trail centres’.
I’ve got nothing against trail centres at all, but I get what he means. It is the very definition of a Trail Centre, if there was one.
For the most part it is way too wide, and way too sanitised, though at least recently they have added new sections in that vary it up a little and add a little more interest back to it. When I first went about 3 years ago, it really was a boring place to ride. Way too sanitised. Nothing to offer anyone, unless you were mr and mrs average with your 2.4 children out to have a go at cycling.
It is very easy to get to for quite a lot of people though, which might also be why it is a lot tamer than it could be. Horses for courses and all that, at least it’s better than it was IMO, but it’s still nothing to write home about.
