All the northshore stuff is gone, the few parts which remain are in process of being dismantled due to insurance complications, was a couple of drops and a few steep runs with single jumps over that side which we hit several times,but i prefer the longer runs.

Just got back from chicksands. The new jumps and single track on the free ride side are ace. Lots of easy enough bits to build yours skills on. Also found out its only a 30 min journey from finsbury park then a 30 min ride to the trails for you Londoners. Living in hackney it's now my Closest of out of swinely and Aston hill.

i persume its a direct train there then ? also is it too arlesey station ?
and any idea how much return ticket was ?

i go from cuffley further up the line and it takes an hour (have to change at stevenage and wait for agesssss) so it may work out quicker to go down to finsbury park then change there and head back up past cuffley, jsut depends if it would cost that much extra with the tickets . .

Think it was £16.25 and a direct train. There is a fast one and a slow one to arlesey.

Ok cheers
its 9 from were i am and looked on national rail and its like 14 from finsbury, so plus a extra 4 to get there in first place, not worth the double price to save the aobut 10 mins :P
