It's a bit of a pain in the arse to get to.

You need to use that post code I put on here. Follow New Road all the way to the top by the school through the tight parking.

The park is on the left.

It's quite close to Danbury which is handy for a big day out.

The car parking is proper bad though so expect to park a walk away.

I kind of like the remoteness/aggro- means that it shouldnt be too busy except for the real want to ride riders.

I popped over sun afternoon too, found it very busy & felt awkward with there being 100-2 ratio of kids vs adults! Excellent track tho, especially for free!

Yeah very true. But it has made me decide what to do with that hard tail frame just laying about in my garden!

This track is brilliant. I went on Fri, Sat and Sun. First day on my own but felt a bit out of place with so many kids. Second day took my 7yr old son and it took him 2hrs to get up the courage to have a go (kept saying he was waiting for everyone to leave so he could go on it alone LOL). Once he got started i couldn't get him to leave and we ended up having lunch at 4pm! I fell on my arse trying a manual (wow that hurt but I made like nothing happened for the kids). I couldn't sit down the rest of the day but then returned the next day for a pain free session. Wish we had one of these locally but we will be back there this Saturday as I am taking the family to my parents nearby.

BTW A full sus is very hard work to get around. Made me think of getting a 24" DJ. :-)
