Summary:
Awesome range of DH rides

Review:
Great range of 5 downhill rides from entry to hard-core/ extreme depending on your dev stage in DH. HSD is a good entry level trail for DH newcomers advancing through the remaining 4 which become more technically demanding. Facilities for drinks etc. are extremly limited so you go to ride not to drink tea! Friendly staff (jim) with a good uplift service or a mile long pushup if your feeling energetic.

Well made and great fun

Review:
Well made trails that are kept in good condition. Full face is a good shout unless you fancy removing your jaw from a tree, some of those gaps are tight!

Review:
This has a range of tracks some of which are supe gnarly. There's plenty of jumpy stuff. Want to go back.

Summary:
Don't get much better than this

Review:
Beginner through to expert it's all good. Well worth a visit for any downhiller, Super Tavi and Egypt are not for the faint hearted.

Push up is possible, Probly 5 ups depending how fit you are.
Trail bike riding up would be ok and HSD/Proper job ideal for trail bike.
Uplift (fly up downhill) is the best way, over 10 runs.
