Are you talking about the freeride track? Lots of drops and unrollable table-tops.

i'm not saying it's not right, just that i would hardly call the whole line 'not that big'.

it's bigger than anything else i have ever seen at a uk trail centre.

Which begs the question "why build stuff like that there of all places"?

why not? the place is crying out for some new life (even though it's packed most of the time) and the land owners obviously want to embrace the opportunity they have. the new skills area and sections on the trail, plus the pump track and now this should keep the regulars coming and get some new visitors. plus there are areas for everyone to develop their skills from beginners to more advanced. more people = more money = more future development.

I think they're trying to meet the demand set up by the people saying llandegla is boring/flat/simple. I hope they pull it off well and people progress to it rather than writing cheques their skill can't cash. Glad to see it exists though.

Poor Llandegla - gets slagged off for being boring, then gets slagged again when something new and interesting gets built. I love the place, but I guess there is no pleasing some folk. ๐Ÿ™„
