Went and had a look at the new bits today, got to say i prefer the ‘red’ sections to the ‘black’ as they flow better.
As for direction of travel its clockwise from the arches although Imo after riding it once you should get an idea.
For those worried about scrotes, as se7en983 says, i wouldn’t worry too much, been going through for years and had no bother, the scrotes are on there having a laugh as well.
I’d say its money well spent already, the amount of families out trying the easier sections is fantastic, if even a small proportion get more into it then that’ll be great.
Give it another week or so and they should be finished and onto sign posting.
As for mx’ers, this was discussed at the beginning and iirc and from talking to the builders, new gating os supposed to be going in at the access points.
