Dull as dishwater, unless you splash out on a fashionable novelty bike to make it a bit more challenging. Trail centres at their worst, and that's really saying something.

Llandegla is great, which is good as all the natural stuff round there is really really rubbish. The Clwyds and the Berwyns are really not worth going to at all, best stick to the trail centre I say

Leeds to Llandegla is about 100 miles. for that to cost you £70 you must be driving an old v8 Range Rover and getting about 12mpg

The most boring trail centre in the UK must be at Inverie. It has proper signs and everything but it's about 500m long and has, like, 2 berms and one jump. It gets the vote for the hardest to get to also. Inverie has the most remote pub in the mainland UK, you can't drive there. Walking, biking or boat are the main transport options
I like Llandegla for what it is, but then it's only an hour away. The SO especially likes it too.

Was at Mcmoab on saturday for ages, it was sunny, didnt see a soul apart from 1 dog walker. Just because alot of people enjoy llandegla doesnt mean it isn't sh1t.

given i get around 30mpg, i could get from cheshire to the south coast and most of the way back on 70 quid! no way i'd drive that distance to ride anywhere!
£70 = approx 13 galls at 30mpg = 390 miles
Sale to Poole is almost 300 miles - you'd have a fair walk!Posted 1 year ago # -
It's very smooth and felt a bit overbiked on the FS. But I did like its swoopyness, esp. the "black" sections.

b r the cockscrew part on the black - prob 50-100m's after the start sign at the black is my favourite bit- where it dips then climbs whilst twisting.

Your all wrong. Pump track is the best bit.

Most trail centres are boring IMO.
However...........Sherwood Pines has to be the worse!

it is indeed shite

As someone commented earlier Google is your friend, and if he isn't its your own daft fault you didn't check beforehand!

If you go to sherwood pines expecting a trail centre you'll be upset. However still loads of good riding around there!

Only been there once, on the way home from a long weekend in LLanberis. It was OK.
Did not enjoy the long climb away from the centre tho. Only did the blue route as was taking it easy before the long drive back to dear old flattish Suffolk. It was fine. Pretty standard trail centre stuff - the chocolate cake was fantastic - so that's always a good sign

they should spend the money on repairing and better signing on bridleways and we would all be better off.at least trail centres keeps the plantpots off the bridleways and its easier for an ambulance to get to. i like cycling in every form but i would honestly pack up if they were the only option.driving to go riding is fine but if its 3 hours to get there and 3 hours home you should at least be riding for 6 hours

Grizedale trail centre was a tad boring. However the best are the 'Northern trails centres' from Laggan wolftrax right upto Golspie.
The Hit the North race course with the new man made bits with swoopy berms is better than Llandegla and that's near Manchester city centre imo.

I like the climb from the carpark - it's a good warm up, my only complaint is it's not steep or technical enough!

Can anyone do me an Arbitrary Singletrack Comparison between llandegla and my own benchmark for ropey trail centres, Ae? Just for my records

Been 250+ times in rain, hail, snow, ice, wind, dusty + and sunny, at night & day. Still enjoy it. Lucky enough to live 15 mins away. Maybe not the most challenging place to ride, but then I'm not Gee Atherton either. One thing I do see going as often as I do, is the amount of hard work and investement that goes into the place, noy only on the many new bits of trail (that hopefully will be open soon) but also maintaing the existing trails.

I like it.

I thought it was pretty good a few years ago when I went. Gave me a chance to get a bit of speed up and even get the wheels off the floor. (doesnt happen often even after 6000m of vertical descending this weekend)
Not the biggest or the best but would go back and probably do a few of the real trails around it too.
Trail Centres = Good for the sport, even if you hate everything about them it means people buying bikes, pushing down prices of parts.

They're obviously doing something right,cos the car park is always packed. It's not bad,but I always feel a bit of a tit for driving a hour to get there.
What bothers me is,that we could be restricted to riding stuff like this in the future.Posted 1 year ago # -

Hooter - It's been extended. New top section is quite nice.... but not finished yet.
It would definately cost more than £70 to get there from just about anywhere!
