I am realy looking forward to it, i have only been out onto local trails around my area (Blackpool) since getting back into mtbing 2 months ago. not sure if i should do the blue route or red, is red a bit too much for my first time? is there anything realy challenging on the red or is it do-able for a first timer?

    Not a massive place and not a lot of room for error in places but very good place to learn new skills.

    I found Lee quarry a bit easier as a beginner than Gisburn. But I do enjoy Both alot.
