    mate i'll be there saturday morning!! i go up there alot, but i live in sunny brum so its nice and convenient. ask the chaps at swinnerton about the new trails there building, you can take it as its own loop or do a figure of 8 and combine it with follow the dog. lots of black runs and it takes in the monkey trail too, then there going to sort out the braking bumps on the dog. but take blitz advice and slap on your crud catchers!! i'll be on a pace 305, so come and say hello!

    I thought all the phase two stuff was a long way from being open yet tho.....apart from the monkey of course. :?

    It's not officially open but some sections are in place. As said above, it's possible to link up parts in the SEA with FtD and Stile Cop and then crawl home along the green trails.

    Wet and puddly.

    FTD itself will be in a ridable condition, just expect to get wet on the way round, bear in mind though that some sections are closed for maintenence at the moment.

    The off piste stuff ranges from gloopy to a muddy slog to un-ridable in places.
