not far mate ,i raced it about 5 years ago, from what i can remember it was fun, but it might not be as testing as tracks used now days, what with the way racing has progressed , i'll be there though should be a laugh.

i did an uplift there 2 weeks ago

the tracks are quite short but real sweet. rock all the way for most of it with a number of tracks to ride about 3 tracks i reckon with about 10 different variations. a few testing things too like the huge road gap dooable in the dry if you have solid nuts !!! and a really fun steep rock section (probs the highlight of the place).
an you can get quite a few runs in so you can really get up to speed on the tracks and get to know them.

We were having a righ laugh about this today.

 Our local spot is Ambergate which is more rock than earth... a chap said to us about the rocks and we were thinking "what rocks?" ....oh you mean the pebbles  Cheesy


Didn't catch who you were Jake, what bike werre you on?

I saw you, on a white Sunn (i think)
I was on an orange Rotec with my mates on a Tomac and a Glory
we was lucky with the weather both saturday and sunday was nice
our local track is dirt with no rocks just the odd lump off sand stone

the first section is quite flat but after that it becomes pretty steep and is definitely downhill. i think its unfair to say that it is a flat track, try pushing up it!
