If you're doing the XC route, is there an easy way to get to the top of Shredder? And if you did that, Shredder and then Omega Man, do you miss much? Or.... is there an easy push/ride from the car park up to the top of Shredder?

Omega Man, do you miss much
Yes, you miss the bermy bit before the last section where you turn left and follow forest road up to Shredder.
Check the map.
You can miss the bit after the Stane and follow the forest road. The trail is just below that. Then pick up the forest road to the top of the DH/Shredder. When you come out of Shredder you turn right uphill back to top of last section.
You could drop in at the Stane and then cut back onto forest road where trail is at it`s highest next to forest road. Turn left onto forest raod and pick up post to Shredder.
You could do Shredder straight from shop as first bit of trail and then join trail proper from car park.
Lots of people just use the push up trail beside last section and then either up Shredder or bike around forest road.
Confused ❓
Yeh. Think we'll do the XC and then decide what to do over a brew and some cake.
I am not too sure if I have fully understood your plans, but you can ride the XC route as far as the first half of the Omega Man, and then head up to the shredder, and then once you come down off the shredder you rejoin the red, so no need to go to the end of the red and then head back up to do the Shredder.
If you take a look at the map, you will see a fire road at the bottom of the Shredder which takes you to the top. Pretty easy really.
the xc(red) can be a bit of a slog in it's self... the road up to the shredder is a fair bit of a climb... the shredder is quite short and over with before you know it... worth checking out though, but to much of an effort after doing the xc for what it is IMO...
