Good fun, don't miss it and just head for the Altura Trail

Review:
Good fun trail for even advanced riders. If you start with this it leads on nicely to the Altura Southern Loop and then finish with the Altura Northern Loop.

Found this website where you can "fly" the trail in 3D http://www.greattrails.co.uk/Quercus.html

Great for a warm up to the altura!

Review:
First ever trail and i really enjoyed it. Not too long, good berms! I recommend giving this a go before trying the red routes (Did this straight after and there were some tricky parts for a complete novice!)

Rented cube bikes from the shop on sight, but burst a tyre and had to pay for repairs which was costly! Guys were really good in the shop until that happened, then they started getting really funny about it, even though we payed straight away (we had to leave one of our debit cards anyways!)

Good Fun for all abilities

Review:
I rode the Quercus trail as a warm up before tackling the red routes and found it to be really good fun. It flows nicely, some good jumping opportunities and some suprisingly tricky optional bits to keep the more experienced rider happy.
Its more technical than Llandegla blue but feels a little less flowy IMO (maybe?)

All in all a cracking beginners trail that doubles up as a great warm up for the red.

Summary:
Great for a Blue Graded Trail

Review:
I don't usually ride Blue graded trails, but had a go at this one as I was introducing a novice into MTB.

I'm pleased I gave it a go, there are some good jumps built into the trail (these are optional for those of you who are novices), good berms & it is majority single track.

If you usually only ride red & black (like me), then it's worth a go & combines well with the main red trails.
