It is ace, basically. Excellent trails and a superb uplift.
Trailswise… Expect rocks- it’s basically all rocks, berms, steps, jumps, and rocks. Makes sense to start on the blue, it’s not dull and leads quite nicely onto the red. All the trails can be puncturey, even dh tyres and tubes if you get the pressures or lines wrong. Some bits can be quite loose too- slates up top, dirt down low,it’s very “built” but don’t mistake that for smooth or featureless.
The blacks are a bit of a step up- black powder reminded me of the middle of fort william. Y du has a bit of proper peril and it’ll help a lot to be comfortable in the air as some bits are designed to be dropped/jumped not rolled. Fullface mandatory on the blacks (they don’t tell you this til you get there).
Oh, and all the trails come together near the bottom- if you go left you get a nice descent, if you go right you get a couple of choices of lines, one is very big, then a load of doubles which I’m not close to doing so it all gets a bit dull rolling them 😛 (Saw Danny Hart come up short on some, frankly if he can’t clear them at will I’m not interested!) So basically if you can’t jump well, go left 😉
If you want to make the most of your time, take some stuff over to the pickup (which is by the weighbridge) so you can grab a drink etc without returning to the cars. But the uplifts are so fast and regular that you don’t need to stress out about missing one, it’s not like innerleithen or similar.
