Whats the difference between Alwinton and Kidland?

They are two different tracks on two different hills. Kidland is very steep tight and tecnical, Alwinton Is steeper faster and knarly…er!

Steeper??? That must be steep then if it is where I think it is then there is not much of a run out. Hope the snow has cleared up. My bro is a keeper up at Clennel and he says it is a bit treacherous at the moment.

Fair play to stick your neck out on the mega avalanche style format, pretty unique in the UK (apart from the glencoe thing?). I guess you must have a course route already laid out? Any map available?

cheers

Baws – clashes with Inners Winter Series Rd1.

I am so in that!

Hopefully one here too

Do you really need a BC licence to enter?
