What's it like in the wet/winter then? Looked like it might drain quite well when I was there in dusty summer conditions.

It was a wee bit slippy today. Rained quite hard just before I set off this morning. Parts were worse than others. The very steep parts were all fine, It was just the slippy routes on the off camber bits that were a bit testing.

Cant wait to ride it in the dry. It was certainley a tought ride technically in the wet, tougher than any trail centre blacks ive ridden ๐Ÿ™‚

Its great, I did it and thought Id got onto the DH course by mistake. It was good fun and almost no one there.

Good days riding followed up by some fun at Long Mynd, makes a great weekend away.

That was what was great about it, the DH parts of the trail, were like DH race tracks. You dont get that often on trail centre XC courses.

Big fan of Eastridge, as others have said the DH parts are very very good....i hope there's another round of the UK Gravity Enduro series there this year.

Eastridge is a great route, its got a old school feel to it.Stupidly i used my cross bike and found it tough to say the least.
Next time my mountain bike will be my weapon of choice.
