Can you join Make or Brake from the red at Inners?

If so where do you find the start of it and does it end at the start of Cadon Bank?

Yes you can join from the red route, when you come to Plora Craig dont go down it but carry on the fire road up the hill, you will then come to the down hill runs.
Yes make or brake finishes at Caddon Bank start.

can you not get to it and the end of plora craig you hit the fireroad, and instead of going right to caddon bank, go left up the hill.... then you get the whole of the red route plus the top section of make and brake

All feasible options.

I would ride the red route until after the crop circles, you come to a fork of sorts (the signposts send you right for about 500m down to the fireroad.) Take the left fork up a fun techy climb/traverse its fair tricky and I have to admit I haven't ridden it in ages so no promises on condition. This is where the red route used to go before they built plora craig.

You come out at the top of the push-up trail (or thereabouts) and can pick up the top of Make or Break from there.

P.S it's not on the trail maps sorry, but there is a natural stopping point as it flattens out at the turn off and there is nearly always a bit pile of mus there !

It would be poor to miss out Plora Craig surely? One of the best bits - I do what gordonb describes - left at the end of PC then back up to do one of the DH trails down. It is a bit of a grind getting back up though, tis true.

It's not that good tbh. The top bit's nice but then from there down to the top of caddon bank is basically just jumps, and you blow away your altitude stupidly fast too. Good if you're a jumper of course but otherwise...

Hels - there were lots of trees down there the last time I was up.
