Ok Mate, looks like I should be done by 10. So I will swap bikes and head out. It will take me about 45mins to get there. So expect to be there around 11:30ish.

That cool?

I just looked at the pictures from Danbury and full face seems to be the option, is the freeride section easy to find from the car park jon

Yep deffo full face and pads.

The freeride area is situated to the north east of the car park - if you look at this link

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&sourc ... 8&t=h&z=17

see copt hill road north of the car park - see it says copt hill 3 times along that road - where the middle one is, the forest meets the road, and that is basically the top of the freeride area and all the trails flow down from there.

If you make your way up to that point through the woods from the car park you will find all of the stuff along the way.

What an awesome place. Danbury Fecking rocks. Cheers Bradley, it was a good day.
Bradley and I met some locals and just followed them around and did some awesome drop ins. As well as Blue Bell and Main trail.

Brad sucked it up and concurred a big drop that he had initially decided against at the beginning but then smashed it by the end of the day.

As Bradley pointed out today, Danbury really allows you to progress. There is something for everyone there.

Really keen to go again soon. Even during the week if anyone is keen.

Cheers for the company Noel, it was a awesome day and you cleared the gap jump by miles. The weather was great and the ground was dry enough to get some speed going down the runs.

I'm glad the locals were helpful and showed us around the area.

I hope to get myself back up there in the next couple of months.
