Take advantage of the shuttle service when available that drops at the top of this trail. This trail is not advised for very young children or beginners.

Red Route - 15.2km

Designed to be fast and flowing , this recently extended trails is a fantastic experience in two sections, enjoyingly testing and rideable, this trail is fairly narrow with a large selection of built in features, some with opt out lines. Look out for Air;s Rock a Black graded slab feature which can be bypassed. Rock Causeways such as the Rib Rattler and natural rock features to keep the adrenaline pumping. The trail finishes with a 300 metre boardwalk (take care in the wet) leading onto the bottom section of the bike park to leave you with a massive grin on your face and an appetite for more.

Black Route - 6.5km

This trail is not one for the faint hearted, possibly the hardest purpose built trail in the UK. This is a demanding technical trail , it has a multitude of technical rock features, sizeable drop-offs, stone staircases, boulder fields and rock slabs. Features like the 40 metre long Devil's Chessboard, a technical rock fest that rewards the brave committed rider. It may take you a number of attempts to clean all the features on this trail but when you do it is a fantastic feeling of achievement. For the ultimate challenge ride it on a hardtail, then it's all about the riders skill and not how much travel your bike has.
