This is the best spot i have ever ridden in the uk. its not far off as good as the alps.

i just hope some of the video cam out!

Agree, it's definitely up there amongst the top spots in the UK!! Very reminiscent of the Morgins Valley , in Switzerland

Very keen to get back there over the summer - hopefully next time full suspended as I'm feeling very battered today after being forced to hammer my hardtail!!

Sounds good, what was the journey like - easily done in a day?

about 3 and a half hours each way including stops - so was an early start (c. 06.30) and a late return (c. 09.30) to Loughton but we had a good run both ways - didn't feel any longer than a Welsh trip.

The guys that run the uplift can also provide camping (they have a big bell tent in their garden), cooked breakfast etc so would be ideal for a weekend particularly as they also run an uplift on some of the long (think 20 minute plus) Exmoor descents which along with Triscombe would make for an amazing weekend trip

It was easy in a day but we were all bugger3d.

i am all about the night over!

That was a fantastic days riding.
The Fairclough track was unbelievable !
Great to meet everyone and a big thank you to Northern for organising - plus respect for riding all of that on a hard tail !
It must rate as one of the best DH places in the UK...... going to Gawton to try the SuperTavi this weekend and I'll report back.

Futete !

Awesome day yesterday, great tracks and the uplift worked well.
Looking forward to heading back

Great to read positive stories from Triscombe. I hope to make the next one!

Adam- absolutely gutted to read about the break in mate, but over the moon they were found.

Great tracks with a great crowd = Wicked day....to add to what hasnt already been already said -

As mentioned closest to alpine ive ridden in England or Wales on rooty loamy goodness - tons of tracks and you can choose between Champery steep or bermy flow with jumps and gaps thrown in

A little bit of pedalling to get to the good good stuff and we did a fair amout of pushing up to link stuff but oh so worth it Cream teas and cakes to finnish off the day was just superb! Lots of stuff still to discover too.

Cheers to Northern for driving..... and respect for his day of hardtail action (AWESOME lol) - you must be a wreck today. Nice to meet Futete and well done to Brad and Stevo on negotiating the steeps - it gets easier I promise and is the biggest buzz.

Pics and a short vid to come.

Lets sort out that 7000ft Exmoor descent uplift!

Futete let us know what you think of Gawton.

After all the debating on which coil to use, do you think it was to soft

The tire looks a bit low too mate!

It was a great day . nice weather ,great great great runs , great up lift , next time i will stay longer !!!! hope it will be soon ! thank s all of you guys again for fixing my wheel !! will put some pic. on fb so jon just put them on forum later .

So pics and vid below - we did like 12 runs and the few in the vid are some of the less steep ones - we were too excited about riding to faf with cams a lot. Sorry Tranny is following me a lot so theres not much variation in the rider ahead. Tranny provides the 'commentary'. Northern the music

Sweet uplift waggon


As my favourite group s club 7 always said - reach for the stars


All the runs ended in g outs - brad works through all available travel


Half way on one of the runs


The three amigos


Whats tranny up to? Admiring the view


On top of the world - look at all the altitude we have to loose


Awsome stack Stev-o


not my pics but there was a new demo 9 sitting in the uplift drivers front garden which shows the type of rider these level of trails attract on a regular basis

Oh brad I have ur allen key! Do you need it ASAP?

I have plenty laying around so just give it to me when you next see me
