Nope, its not open to the public, it was all fenced of when i was there last.

IMO it looks crap and a waste of money, all they have done is put in a bridleway in the middle of hadley country park, and adding a few stone steps to call it "technical"

Perhaps if they got together with redbull rampage, and added a few challenging parts, i may watch it

Agree with Brad - course doesn't do much for me in terms of demonstrating what MTBing is about but that was always the risk with picking Hadleigh Farm - maybe we should offer to start digging now and by the time of the Olympics we may have a similar size step down ready to challenge Absalon and co.

If they open it to the public, then I will definitely ride it!
