The pump track in Chopwell is now open, and it's chuffing mint.
DHR2 & Shorty 3C is a tiring combo, so don't do that.
Ooh.. My local. Where at Chopwell is it, somewhere obvious that Ive just managed to miss? Not been there for probably 3 months...
It's in Chopwell village itself, rather than the woods/High Spen end. If you knot the trails, head towards Frenchman/Flow but don't turn in - carry on to the exit of the woods, and turn right at the tarmac road.
If you don't know the trails, it's in Chopwell park - turn left after Marx Terrace, and the closest post code is NE17 7EH
Look forward to trying this out at weekend before the locals use it as a race track / bbq area/ dump. Seen the drone footage, it looks great. Not ridden chopwell in about 2 years!
Lived in the village for few years when moved to the North East - best description I heard was it has the inner city vibe in the country.
I've been about 6-7 times since it opened. Every time, there has been loads of people, from little kids on balance bikes and knackered BMX's, to youths annoyingly good, to middle-aged dandy horse pilots.  Still waiting on the bins and benches, and at some point floodlights on a timer switch.
No BBQ's yet, but has had Danny Hart a couple of times showing everyone how it's done.
Demo of how we imagine we can ride it effortlessly...
That looks mint, now need decide which inappropriate bike to bring - my ancient full suss or my genesis longitude, neither will do it justice 🤔 time get shopping
