Rode it recently and enjoyed it. Middle section with a few jumps was definitely the highlight. Weather was good and could have probably pushed back up and sessioned that bit a little more.

Thought this was ok, agree with all the other comments about the unrelenting climb at the start. I got lucky and was there when it was dry so no real mud or drainage issues for me. The red routes were alright, but I had most fun on the orange freeride trail.

I agree with the other 2 comments, didn't really enjoy the endless climb to start with an ice cold wind and loose stone! maybe on my hardtail would have beasted it up but not on full! ending up walking up last it! once up cut down the first part of the orange route, you just get a taste for it and your back on the fire road and then you have the choice do the 2nd part of orange and be almost back to the bottom or switch back to red! which we opted for! slight climb again then a good we run, but the bad design means you come flying back down to the fire road and it gets steep again before you can change back down gears! The last bit was very muddy, roots everywhere and a bit of a bone shaker! but first time out this year and was a buzz, although I wasnt to keen to have to tackle the hill to do it again and it started snowing heavy at that point so we called it a day! yeah its alright but be one for the summer, when its dried out a bit!

The fireroad climb is tediously slow-going due to the loose surface, but the descent is good fun (although drainage is an issue towards the latter half of this).

Can't say I loved this but it was OK. I found the fire-road climb largely irritating because of the surface (large, loose stones), and the rooty bit at the end was very muddy and slippy. I did it in April though, I'd try it again after a drier spell when it might be more fun.
