Well Worth The Effort

Review:
Have ridden this trail a couple of times now & will definitely go back in the future. You start with a fire road climb followed by a variety of singletrack descents which have good flow, but do make you work hard to have fun. In between there are fire road climbs. When I visited it was clear there is an active Motocross community in the area, some of which were riding on the Cli-Machx trail, which was doing some damage.

The whole point of coming here is for the final descent. It flows well, has jumps, great berms, just watch for the sharp corner with a big drop off the side. If I'm going to offer slight criticism, then the final few hundred yards of the descent is on fire road, but this is only minor.

The faster you go the better it gets.

Review:
I first rode this a few years back now and was quite taken by it. Only a short loop which does involve the inevitable fire roads however a decent level of fitness will get you round comfotably. The more you can keep in the tank for the last section the better which really isn't trail center surfaces - big rocks, roots, drops, off camber sections, braking ruts, tight switchbacks with no berms etc. A real test and like I say the faster you attack it the more you'll get from it. Get this ride nailed and put a heap of new skills in your arsenal.

Amazing

Review:
Starts off with a lot of climbing, then in the middle with some ups and downs followed by the longest singletrack downhill section in the uk. Worth a 10 just for the last 3Km. Even if you don't live near is wotrth the drive.
