Just seen this and fancy a go. Whats venue like and whats the riding like. I can read the bump but I wanted first hand experience before I sign up.

You should expect some swoopy bits, some shirt punchy climbs and some twisty bits. It's loamy so dries extremely quickly and also doesn't get ridden much so isn't too cut up.

I really like Frith Hill - great venue for all the reasons gee said.
Bonus hard standing parking too.

Yup , no serious climbing , but constant twisty up & down , very few straight / fireroad bits.

Keep a close eye on the Gorrick site , as Frith is a military venue . MOD exercises have caused a lot of last minute venue changes in the last year.

Nothing too technical, combination of fire roads and singletrack - but there are some rooty bits to catch the unwary in the wet. Rode the Gorrick 6 hour race there last year
