Anyone able to tell me if it's worth coming if i'm not the most experienced jumper?

Also does it matter if I don't have body or arm protection? I have knee pads and a full face helmet and goggles

I've never been mate, as I have said in previous threads I personly think any armour you can put up with is essential to protect yourself. Like most places it will surely have chicken runs etc..

Duckcm18 I can lend you some race face rally arms if they fit - should be ok if you have medium size arms.

Armour is personal and you shouild wear what you feel comfortable in - id say start with legs and arms and go from there. There is nothing there steeper than aston and none of the jumps are massive gaps or without chickens so u should be fine.

Joel I will have your spare slot.

Ill change the title of this thread to the 21st.

Cool on the slot Karve. I hope Mr Evil can still make it, i dont want anyone to miss out.

Mr Evil if you do make it any chance of trying out your neck brace.

Gonna be a great one with the foretold 30 runs in a day.

Anyone been there before, is it worth doing on a hardtail? Its all I have at the moment and they dont seem to do bike rental.

Hello mate - have a look in the gallery - there are lots of vids and pics labelled uk bike park or ukbp which will give you a good idea of what its like. It has been massively remodelled this year so no real idea of what to expect but if you are happy on local stuff like Aston Hill or Danbury than you will have a blast. Deffo think its doable on a hard tail - again if you are happy on the steep stuff at Aston on a hard tail then you will be sweet.

Northern did Triscombe on a hardtail recently and had a great time and its not as burley as that.
