Gang of us are. Much less fraught than trying to get an Ard Rock/Moors place (not that I even bothered this year).
Any other STWers going to be there making me feel slow?
There's a group of us too. Did it last year and it was fantastic, probably my favourite riding weekend of the year.
Yep, myself and a couple of mates are entered the enduro. Entry was much more relaxed than the nightmare that is Ard Rock! Plus May is much closer so it doesn’t feel a life time away! Not been before so keen to hear advice, tips and expectations .

4 of us booked on, one a roadie/Tt/triathlete who's never done an enduro before.
Should be a giggle 😁😁
7 of u, was a great event last year with one of the lads finishing his first enduro. Great vibe to the weekend and a proper friendly event!
I love how there's no PSA's until after entries have opened. I still can't believe how slow it fills up.

Should be a good season!
Great race and event, possibly my favourite of the year. 2019 will be my 3rd of 4 years. It’s grown a lot from its 1st year with 150 or so riders but still maintains a chilled friendly vibe. 5 great stages. Stages 2 & 4 are the techy ones and they can catch a few people out. 1,3,5 are fast. In the dry they are all fantastic, in the wet they are pure carnage.
Seems to be full now
@colournoise and @russyh the stages are great fun. Technical enough to be interesting but not overly scary. As bigwill says, 2&4 a bit more techy. Think steep and loamy through trees. Last year one of them was closed after a rider crashed, so it wasn't included in the main race results.
The other stages combine loamy corners with grassy off camber and are quite fast. YouTube has videos of all the stages.
<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">Last year the weather was perfect, I can imagine it being quite slippy in the wet.</span>
The organisation was good, everyone was friendly with a good vibe.
Managed to get in along with one buddy, but six missed out as we weren't expecting it to sell out so fast.
Looking forward to it, will hopefully be a better experience than my Lee quarry adventure a few months back
Me and 6 of us are in, suspected it would sell out quickly this time. Anybody who hasn't done it before you're in for a treat. It's just long enough, stages are great (not that scary as mentioned above) and the whole event has got a great vibe. Beautiful part of the UK as well.
I'm in too, fingers crossed the weather is as nice as this year!!
I'm in. Don't forget your sat nav Simon
I've done it the last two years, in too very differing trail conditions, this year was spot on though dry and dusty!
I didn't bother entering this year but now regretting it now that it's full! Anyway won't miss that transition back to stage 4 😉
I'm in, team of 4. Abspkutely5loved it last year, best day out on the bike all year. Just the right amount of tech to be enjoyable and super fast. There's some fairly decent climbs on the transition sections too. Got one newbie with us next year. Pray for good weather it was absolutely glorious but I think that was the 'summer of 2018' effect.
If its wet, I imagine it could get a whole lot more tricky!
Not surprised it sold out this year, (we entered after christmas last year I'm sure!?) as there was so many glowing reviews like mine!
