yes mate.....well walked and pushed 😆
it is very steep, very rooty, very rutted and a little bit muddy. but it is ace and the blokes who run it are fantastic.

Glencoe chairlift. the trails are a challenging red descent and a ridiculous black. £25 for a day ticket. Ace.

Triscombe in the quantocks is a good setup.

Kustom bikes might be running something at Combe syd.

whats revolution like? Everyone is riding a DH bike in the pics, will we die on (or break) our "normal" bikes? (5, hemlock, heckler etc)

You won't die Donk, but its pretty hard, especially when it's (inevitably) wet. Very steep, muddy, rutted, rooty, off camber etc. No silly big mandatory drops or anything. For me the main issue was bottle and fitness, gets very tiring quite quickly being on your brakes all the time. If you can let off the brakes a bit it gets a lot better, but easier said than done for me.

gets very tiring quite quickly

He isn't kidding - with only racetrack style runs there's no let-up.
I thought it was great there, but probly won't return til they've got something easier to ride as a choice of less challenging is nice to have.
