Full of mincers who can't ride. The trails are also easy, that or I've ridden them one to many times.

I prefer Llandegla and Cannock.

Most ironic post on website

+1

I think I've just ridden it to many times when I was a kid, when the idea of trail centres was just kicking off and the original cafe was being set up.

In the late '90s they used to play reggae all the time in the steamy old cafe. I have one of the old jetwash tokens in my wallet to remember the place by.

Went back in 2007 after the rebrand of the trails and the opening of the new cafe. I won't go again, the changes weren't to my taste.

Ahhh yeah forgot about that, the guy and the girl who ran the cafe...Daved?? and someone???? Can't remember their names.... wonder where they are these days?

I was only small, I think the last time I rode there when the old cafe was still in use was when I was 12ish.

I miss those times. Warner, mint sauce etc etc

Climbs are easy mindless plods

Your @rse will get soaked

Have suspension or dislodge fillings

Adams family segments are excellent

Tawr most disappointing loop ever

So to summarise so far.
It gets pretty bloody rocky.
It used to be better.
Suspension is mode of choice.
Cut out the boring bits.
No cheese on toast (rubbish).
It's a really good blast.
Climbs will induce sick-bag.

Will go to find out.

My first trail centre, in 1996.

I found it quite soulless.

Same as every one since.

Nostalgic rocky flowing speedy fun.

It was better in 2000 though.

Tawr is actually pretty good for a quick blast, but one does have to know the short cuts to strip out all the pointless fireroad.

As is the general rule with most trail centres, if you find it too easy, step up the speed a bit.
