Used to like it here. My bike didn't enjoy the uplift trailer mind! (But they've added wheel chocks now)
Seems like years and years since I did an uplift here and they've made quite a few changes.
Run by Matt Simmonds now.
It might even be eeb-able if using the uplift road is allowed. Might have to ask that one.
Worth a visit.

Love this place, one of the best venues in the UK imo. Has been reopened since 2020 but they've done a bit of digging recently, Matt's doing a great job.
Nothing makes you feel as old as remembering racing here when it was a forest, then when they chopped the trees down. Now going back and the tress have nearly grown back!
Not sure on being ebike-able - during uplifts probably not due to the tractors running, outside of uplifts it's on private land on a working farm so would imagine access is restricted.

Yeah makes sense as it's fairly tight in places there.
Might ask the question though.
I knew the guy that was running it before (Malc I think) but not been in so long that I didn't know Matt was running it now.

Yeah for sure.
One of my proudest moments was crashing into a tree here so hard that I knocked it down.
To be fair, it was a rotten one 😂
Looks good. If anyone is driving over from Sheffield I'll tag along and chip in.
We went last Feb and I’ve been meaning to go back as it seemed good. When we went, it had snowed quite heavily, was sub zero and it was quite easily the most terrified I’ve ever been, so we only did a few runs before calling it a day. I quite liked the outdoor tractor uplift! 🙂

Nothing makes me feel as old as remembering going practicing here on my Enduro bike before there were any MTB trails there.
And yes we did have permission. We were riding with a lad who's dad owned the farm.
Bloody mountainbikes ruining our motorbike trails. 😛
Wow blast from the past
I think it was there we camped over once, but sacked off the 2nd day as
A) it rained horrendously all nighy
B) we all got far too drunk
Good trails to
We all used to get our bikes washed by his younger brother while we sat in the kitchen getting fed by his mom.
Good times.
Must go back there sometime. The trails look fun.
We took ages to get the hang of the name (still have to check when writing it), so always used to call it K-Swiss 😊

Bit of new track building happening 👍
