Any one know anything about this? Where is it? When it is likely to open? etc etc.

I guess so ๐Ÿ™

Looks like it may be just what we need though.

Can't help thinking that if this was a viable project, then a slightly dodgy PinkBike pic wouldn't be the first news of it/best way to announce it to the world...

Believe it when I see it...?

I don't think this proves anything, for example Brant does all his initial marketing via here/twitter.

Fair point, but Brant and his companies have the reputation and pedigree to allow them that indulgence.

Anyhoo, I'm not trying to prove anything, it just has a faint whiff of flash-in-the-pan. I really, really hope I'm wrong though.

No reason why it wouldn't be viable but it's not likely to make anybody rich.

I'm liking anyone's intention to set this kind of thing up and it has my support, looking forward to riding it!

This is a Project that is going to happen. The land has been bought and the people involved are moving to the area. Have some faith Joe....

Looks very promising, home of the Athertons too... Good luck James! from what I've read the Blaenau Ffestiniog one is different, but they have also got planning permission the work being managed by these guys http://www.anturstiniog.com/ (council funded by the looks of it and tenders to develop the trails have gone out)so good news and some critical mass developing in an area that already has a lot of good natural and trail centre biking.

Looking forward to it, although it looks like quite a journey from here in West Sussex.

Edit: Just multi mapped it and it's nearly 240miles from me...arrrgggggggg

I think you'll find that UKBP is more of a SW bike park than a SE one. The nearest the SE has is probably Rogate, and even that is 60 miles from me.

SE has PORC, Tillgate, Bedgebury and Friston. None are quite as focusses as this, but PORC wasn't a long way off last time I went

James, are you going to have facilities for camping (well camper vans)? if so you could make a mint out of a bbq & beer pit!
