Latest update here!

I'll email them now to ask if they think they'll be ready by 30th - will let everyone know as soon as I receive a reply....

Bit frustrating but what can you do....



Reading the update - and having been there so knowing how it relates to the terrain - there is no way its going to be fully ridable a week after that - id say they need at least month to get the lower section in shape. If your local turning up to session the top bit would be cool but not worth the drive me thinks.

this sounds super cool

Quote:
The crossing for the existing trails after the barrow (Ali's finger, Ladder Ali etc ) is well under way as the woodman will be milling several tons of timber onsite ready for the bridge construction - this will be as high as the start platform and will take all the trails OVER the uplift route! The uplift route is going to awesome not only because you can get a really fast turn around without the long ride down to the collection point but also because you'll be able to see riders hitting the trails in the woods on the way up..


Good things come to those who wait - I think this place will be superb once its all sorted.

Couldnt make the 30th due to Friday night shenanigans planned, but very keen to go back once all the work has been completed to exorcise my demons from last visit !!

Maybe think about another date late May / early June?

I'm not confident on them being ready for 30th April so am going to postpone and instead go to FoD on Saturday 30th with https://www.flyupdownhill.co.uk/booknow.asp.

doesn't look like there's many slots free - so if you're interested suggest booking asap.

Will suggest some dates for UKBP once they're fully open later in the summer

Been a lean year for uplifts for me, so I'd be up for that.
