Looks really good fun. How do you tell where to go? Just follow the tracks left by others? Is there a beginners day/session available?

Lee and I spent a very hot five hours clearing the route and marking the track with a combination of tape and arrows. Riders do a guided sighting lap to make sure they can find there way about

Our days are very suitable for beginners; the track has nothing that you wouldn't find out on the trails. As you get more confident, you just up the speed a bit.

Unfortunately, this site is not available for the foreseeable future. We are looking at a venue near Steep for the next one.

Paul,

I think Lee and I will be having a scout around the land next week. We've competed in a trial there in the past but have no idea if we can set out a long lap suitable for trail-bikes.

Will post as soon as we have a plan
