Going to triscombe tomorrow, where to park for the uplift? No directions on the Facebook page! (That I can see)

Is it definitely running tomorrow? Do you know when they stop?

Cheers

no they said they would contact me if it was on...got the facebook message last night! but we were down to 3 by then as we hadn't heard anything from them we assumed it wasnt on. 3 isnt enough so its not running afaik.

is it better if you are coming from taunton to park near blue ball pub and walk up the track past the quarry? or is that track drivable?
I don't fancy the longer drive round in from bridgewater.
cheers.

drive past the blue ball, with it on your right, up the hill and park in the carpark at the top of the hill.

have fun!

Carl, you can drive up from the Blueball, its a bit rough so take it easy!

its great spot.....the best stuff IMO is round near the top, a 10 minute ride round from the carpark. the trails are much longer..

I'm used to pushing with Gawton being my local proper dh spot..

I need to get used to the way they work too, no confirmation until the night before which made one of our group make alternative arrangements, still we know for next time.
