Summary:
if you want a proper red trail make sure you do the black route as well
Review:
I was totally uninspired by this red trail, I dont often knock trails as I appreciate the effort that goes into them but hamsterley red route is quite poor. Most of the trail felt like average blue grade and followed forest road. i was pleased i made the decision to addthe black route to my ride otherwise i would havebeen realy disappointed. I'm no expert but the black route is over graded and for me was no more than red grade.

ok but no more than red grade difficulty
Review:
I failed to see how this trail could be given a black grade.
I added it onto the red route and its just as well I did as I felt the red route is mostly half decent blue grade.
I had a good couple of hour ride and did enjoy it but I wontbe going back in a hurry, Keider is a similar drive time for me and is a much better trail. Also for another 30min drive I could get to Dalby forst which also is better than Hamsterley, I wont be going back

Area 13 is awesome
Review:
Went up there this weekend, tryed out the new "Area 13" which is now part of the red route up at Hamsterley. Straight up past the Descend Hut, and left at the car park. Lots of jumps mini drops windy bits, and a bit where its like a bobsleigh run, tracks bed into lower than ground level, Very "spookywood-esque". Work checking out when if your up that way.

Great days riding, not to challenging though.
Review:
I enjoyed this trail, went round it twice. I can see why more experienced riders may find it a bit easy. I would be very happy to ride this trail again though. I tend to agree with mega_waster's comments regarding the trail.
