Is it worth a trip? Is the new "Surfaced to Air" track open yet?

I'm considering giving it a go, instead of my usual trip to Rogate.

It's only a mere 77 miles away 🙁

Its worth it if you like DH and live further south/east.

It's worth a trip. But only in the dry......

Courses are fun, some jumps but all with chicken runs. Its harsh in the wet due to the ground. And the push back up is a pain in the arse.

To be honest, making the courses less steep but longer would've been my choice........ It'd make the shove back up seem more worthwhile.

+1 for aceness in the dry, but being chalky and hilly it's an absolute pig to ride in the wet.

The black run is good fun and holds up pretty well in the wet these days, ditto the 423 once you get passed the first few rooty turns.The rain never really seems to penetrate much under the trees, except for massive prolonged downpours, DH3 gets very slippery though. The tracks are longer than Rogate, but so is the push up, I will be there on sunday rain or shine.
