Whats going on to the left at Whitecliff decent? (I think its Whitecliff, where the new improved bermed decent is, its the one where the rock drop is at the start of the decent (immediately after a switchback), about 3/4 of the way around) - hard to describe sections of trail 😳
Anyway just prior to the decent you pass some big drops, a 'warning keep off sign' and a blank marker post.
Does this have the makings of an optional black descent?
I do now.
roughneck- i'm with you. keep well away from dalby during the weekend daylight hours. it gets rammed, although probably not as bad at this time of year. dalby is great (especially at night or when it's wet) but there's so much on the moors to explore if you can be arsed. we went up lsat night in the pitch black and pissing rain and did the last 1/3 of the red and it was f-ing mint!
For the weekend, go at 8am....empty, but admittedly a bit chilly.
By 10am, you can't hardly park, but the crowds disappear once you start riding.
The fitter you are, the faster you ride, the more fun you have. We ride slowly up the climbs to save some, then hammer everything else.
I love this place!

Haddock, that's our current project! A roll in to a nice big rock drop followed by another rock drop and then we have to clear a trail and loop it round and filter into the red at some point.
Definately a black option - I've stacked the Faith a few times off the first rock drop and now am struggling to ride it - it's the offcamber landing and root system that we need to clear out thats giving me the fear I reckon.
We'll be working there on Sunday, so if anyone's passing come and say hi!
MtbCol - yep.
Looks sweet col, It will ride fast when the run out is finished. Good little section now that them 3 crap jumps are not there.
The only issue we have with it is filtering in the option to avoid collisions as its currently a bit blind for both riders on the black and red parts of the trail until the last moment where the trails should meet.
But we'll find a solution somehow 🙂
Fingers crossed for a decent day for digging tomorrow 😀
Cheers MtbCol, i'll keep an eye out for you when i'm up there, are you Singletraction?
Yeah I'm a member, have been for a few years.
