Been chatting to a few people recently on the trails about uplift days.
Ive been reluctant to commit incase of holding people up and it seems theres a few of us

Lots of people have recommended this place so figure its as good as anywhere to start although any other suggestions gratefully received.

I like the idea of going for two days and others seem keen. uplift is £25 a day at weekend or £23 midweek. Happy to camp or look at bnb's nearby.

Obviously anyones welcome as long as you dont mind a few of us being on the slow side for a few runs.

If you interested post up and well start looking at dates and options...

I'd be up for this if I have a bike for it, but i've only got my jump bike at the moment

Anywhere nearby to hire bikes?

I'm going to put my name down for this, as i've found somewhere that hire DH bikes (Well, try before you buy

)

I'm free for the first week of April, what dates were you guys thinking?

Also anyone going up from Colchester area?

Can only do weekends, and if my pals can't make it I'll have to ponce a lift of someone haha

How about the easter bank holiday weekend, if they're open?

I would drive and offer some lifts but i've only got a little Renault Megane

FOD s a great place to try DH uplifts.

Loads of variety in the runs and you can run it at your own pace

The uplift does get booked really quickly however.

I'm up it, been before and yes the uplift is a saviour, the push up is short but a killer.

Everything meets back in one place and everything is easy to fin, the carpark has a cafe and bie shop so perfect.

I'm able to make weekends and in July I have a whole week off

Easter weekend is good but I reckon will be packed already!! 28th is good but need to wait for my mate to get back from holiday to confirm the number
