    It`s good but i wouldn`t bother going till the new trail is complete. The old trail is still there but it`s not worth a long journey. Parts of the new build are cutting into the old trail, making it difficult to ride. (tape, trees lying across to stop people riding it)

    When it`s finished it`ll be awesome with a decent red run and a full on downhill run. There will also be some more family oriented trails.

    went on saturday
    seemed to be finished
    went on first bit on fireroads and some single track but then my Dad's chain irreparibly snapped so we walked/i rode slowly back
    there were many intriguing singletracks leading off, appearing to all rejoin, i went on 1 it was ok
    however they are all confusing, anyone know of a map showing them all as I can't find one

    Cheers

    Its all confusing cause it`s not finished yet. When it`s finished it`ll all be waymarked. From what I can gather from the route map it will be going the opposite way round from the current waymarked red route.
