Probably a bit more exciting than Delamere plus when you get fitter and better there's loads more stuff to progress too . |

Once you get used to it, there are literally miles and miles of single track, log crossings, skinny log bridges, jumps, bomb, streams to ride through.
There's more than enough for 2 to 3 hours of riding without hardly touching the actual blue & white trails (mainly if not all fire road).

Hi Steve where abouts are the miles of single track? Theres a trail next to the railway track if you head down from the carpark. You can follow it along a bit back onto the forest track then head down some more singletrack and end up at the skills section.
I would be really happy if you could tell me which way to head!

i can tell you which way to head. i have been there alot of times and we have a forum meet there about every month |
Thanks Jay after being there a few times ive managed to find a bit of single track by heading off the forest tracks. Ill normally come out at the bottom of the skills section just after you go across a stream and come out onto forest track next to a bench if you know where i mean. I wonder where are the miles of single track as thats all ive been able to find. Thanks for any help!

turn on the bridge before the visitor centre. turn right and right again and follow the path.
go past the visitor centre, keep going straight then turn left at a gate, climb up the hill then go to the top, go down on the tarmac then past the second left turn turn left into a path and then turn right.
your welcome to come to the next outing wich should be near christmas or come with me on the 27th november
