Man what the hell has happened over there?! the first half of the black route is ruined, the second half is better. But then to top it off the small obstacles that had been built at the start of the red route have all been removed. WHY? they were a good improvment can anyone tell me why they have been taken down?

    WTF?!?!??!

    Is this some new internet forum etiquette I've missed out on? You might have noticed the topic author also asked about the red route and that is what I was answering (the clue is in the portion of his post that I quoted).

    Sorry, was this your thread?

    Anyway the trail stuff on red has been removed due to new TTF regulations, everyones scared of being sued basically.

    Black has been a mess for ages, its just full of ruts, they've only been repairing red for a while now so black has slowly declined and what with the recent deforestation its kinda messed up the first half.

    I rode Thetford last weekend and this morning Black Trail seems the same as always, there;s some good trails around where The Beast is, 2 running parallel to it, I also found some fast single track in the woods the opposite side of the road too so spent an hour or so riding up and down these..........
