Met someone while doing the Megavalanche who said there was a downhill track somewhere near Kentmere, anyone know anything about it? He did describe where it was but I can't really remember.

It's in HP Plantation, to the left of the bridleway as you go down

If I remember correctly, someone has built some badly built but fun woodwork in a wood on the edge of the village aswell. Good for a slight de-tour.

on or around Hellwell lane, maybe!!!! in a little wood. Looked like local kids had built a few little lines of interest with bits of woodwork included. It was a year or so ago, so might not be there now.

There's 2 or 3 lines down a hillside, not long. A few (slightly rickity!) bits of "North Shore". It's quite technical in places too, a few tight corners. The local kids are ridiculously quick on it - don't try it when they're around or you'll feel thoroughly inadequate!

The DH track has now had a gate and padlock put on with a private sign! due to the amount of people turning up it,it was no longer locals only.

Thats all been demolished and removed now. Probably for the best it didn't look too safe ๐Ÿ˜€
