Reviews for Whinlatter Forest Mountain Bike Trail Centre

Summary:
Totally killed my joy

Review:
Didn't enjoy this trail at all. it seemed like you were just climbing all the time without enough reward. Granted the final descent is good but with little margin for error i felt over cautious, i thought that was down to me stacking it on JJ's jumps the other week but my mate (who didn't) agreed with me. The weather wasn't the best and that just made it far too slippy all the way round as the trail is mostly mud and slate. Maybe its better in the dry but most of the riders i spoke with on the way round agreed with me. Also i found the people to be a little snobby unlike at Llandegla where everyone seems to be really friendly but maybe thats just the difference between the lakes and wales? All in all not a good day and doubt if i'll be heading back to check out the next bit when its finished!

up, up and more up.....

Review:
when me and my mate arrived we were initially impressed, the place looked well organised with good scenery. how wrong we were!
this trail is hard work with no reward, we just seemed to be going up all the time. the downhill at the end is good but very technical and if your not careful the ambulance which arrived sirens blazing as we were leaving could be for you.
there is some singletrack but it does not seem to have any flow, there is always another uphill around the corner to take away your smile.
i was told by a local that the new section has more and even harder uphills than the current section so i wont be going back, grizedale may not have black sections or be as technical but it is much more fun if your in the lakes.

Summary:
New and definately not blue!!!!

Review:
Was gonna be part Blue graded and part Red graded. It sure aint. Apparently it's part Red part Black. I agree. Climb at start is long, can be hard, and sometimes tedious. The descent is worth the wait though!! Fast, sinewy, technical, and flowing.

Summary:
man made cycle trails, long climbs sweet decents

Review:
at the mo takes on average about an hour if you just wanna take it easy and enjoy, some nice natural features like rocks n stuff, some boardwalks for a bit more of a thrill, been nice to have a stop with a bench at a view point or something. Awsome good fun descent, you just want it to keep going. Great for an evening ride when you cant decide where to go. Like it.
