did gisburn forest yesterday with 8 friends.
absolutely loved it,although i've come to the conclusion my bike skills are crap,6 crashs and i feel pretty beat up this morning.(was thinking about going clips,but glad i kept my flats on)
on another note,my mate lapierre's rear hub packed up,and thanks to all the lads who stopped and offered to help
cheers
We were also there yesterday(first time) and what a cracking trail that is.
Loved the rocky sections Dragons teeth,big foot and of course hully gully.
Will be there today adding some more rocks on the new section, hopefully have it open early summer.
I was going to post about Gisburn, I will hopefully be going next Sunday. I take it, its riding pretty well then? This week is mean't to be dry and sunny so hopefully that'll also improve things.
conditions were great,rocky areas were hard going
Which bits did you stack on?
This is the next trail centre I'd like to visit but I live in Stoke. Do you reckon it's worth a 2hr drive? & if I was to visit on the way down from the north how long off the M6 is it?
Thanks
It's about 25-30 mins from the Kirkby Lonsdale exit.
Not sure I'd drive 2+ hours for it from Stoke, but that's probably overfamiliarity talking.
I wouldn't drive 2+ hours for it either - but then I don't live in Stoke!
Maybe combine with a visit somewhere else? Lee Quarry/Calderdale perhaps. 🙂
Familiarity breeds contempt - or so they say
It's a great little trail with some very nice sections (still being added to, I might add) and the cafe and skills section add a bit more.
I've driven two hours to Cannock and the same to Llandegla and had good rides. I've also driven 70mins to Hope and had a shit time (although I've also had great times there)
If I'd not ridden it I'd drive the two hours to see what it was like. Then you can decide if you thought it was worth it.
i stacked it on the wooden bridges twice,going down rocky section in trees(otb)twice,clipped a,tree and just before hully gully.
would drive 2 hours for it,we are 1hr 45 away,we try and get off once amonth somewhere different.
we did sherwood pines last month and dalby before that.enjoyed gisburn the most
