    I will answer my own question,the section after the cattle grid has signs and the remains of tape saying it is closed.As i said remains of tape because everyone is riding it anyway.

    Cheers

    Yes after you get past the skills area with the see saw ect. you follow the red round the back of the quarry and climb to the top with a cliff to your right.
    The link route is on the left a bit further along,follow the link till you get to the dirt road/cart track at the top,turn right and follow the track down the hill untill you come to a reservoir on your right and cragg quarry is on the left.

    I like the last bit through the trees, makes a nice change to hitting rock slabs for 20 minutes.
    Advocate of disc brakes.

    I think that last bit flows very well,not convinced about the changes on the section before apart from the berm at the bottom.
