with a user name like "the lecht rocks" by "trail conditions?" you're not seriously asking about trail conditions in probably the mildest (weather wise) and best drained/maintained trail centre in the country are you?

The new Tourist Trap's finally open as well. It's all a bit confusing tbh, think there's more signage due. And I could be wrong but I think that the new black, Zoom or Bust, is officially open in parts though it may not be signposted yet (it's nice though)

You go up the fire road out of the buzzard's nest, the one that leads to the start of the black. Just after the wall ride, where the road splits and one goes back to the freeride trailheads and pennel's vennel and the other goes on to the start of soor plooms, there's a walker's path that leads down to the left- it's a wee bit down there, can't miss it once you're on the right path.

Sorry my directions are a wee bit vague, i can never remember exactly where the path is!

one word - PHENOMENAL ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

awesome fast conditions, loose and dusty, sketchy in places, puncture central on Friday, too hard pressures needed on Saturday.....

two days of full on blasting - perfect ๐Ÿ˜†

Nope ๐Ÿ˜† i got chatting to a bloke there on a Giant on Friday while sussing bits of the park out, We were getting some tuition from a teenager how to wallride, They make it look to easy B) Chap on the giant had the balls to have a proper go and after his fall i chickened out ๐Ÿ˜ณ
