Did them a couple of years ago, very good trails, planning to go back in August.

When we went it was a few euros for the car park barrier, small bike shop / hut and limited food, may have changed over the years.

Great little place,well worth the visit.
Some of the tracks have recently been upgraded by CYB pioneer Dafydd Davis.
Tech 1 and Tech 2 loops are a lot of fun!
Nothing too technical,very flowy.

There is friendly mtb shop and they have showers there as well.
You'll need 5 euro coins to get in the car park.

I'll be there in August for the Irish Gravity Champs.
Enjoy!

Hut's bigger now, but no hot food or anything like that, just coffee and snacks, and you can buy tryres/gloves/gear.etc

Trails have expanded a bit, some new "tech" sectiosn were added, which were great fun until they got Health & Safetied a while back - the same intervention from the fun police closed all the off-piste trails that had spring up (some were built for Gravity Enduro rounds that were held there) - but that aside, there's still plenty of miles to be had, and there are some genuinely ace sections where you just can fly through the trees off the brakes for ages, just pumping and steering.

Its worth a visit.
