I'm booked in for the weekend, seen a few vids online and it looks good, but do you lot have any pointers that might be of use beforehand?

I understand there's a few tracks there? I'll be looking to build up gradually throughout day due to lack of rad skillz.

Great place - quite a few tracks there (plus more being built) and a real variety of terrain. I haven't been since they did all the felling though.

As mentioned, there's nothing too extreme there. Steep but nothing unrideable.

I haven't been for a while now but rode there in Feb last year. The tracks I rode were pretty steep in places but that was less of an issue than the conditions, which were pretty wet and slippy. In the dry I imagine its mental fast. In the wet I found it tough going on the steeper sections. It's a fantastic venue though. You will have lots of fun.

Cheers for that guys.

Steep you all say? Oh well, steepness is something I'm trying to get better at!

I saw one vid where it looked ridiculously slippy. Can't be worse than Aston Hill whem muddy though (not that I can ride that!)

It can get a bit slippy in places but with some decent tyres on it makes it more fun ๐Ÿ™‚ . It'll certainly improve your wet-root riding skills if it keeps raining ๐Ÿ˜‰
