interesting philosophy, although the trail is somewhat limited.
would be better at Laggan imo, esp XC / AM bikes.
however, i'd happily attend @ the lecht !

I would come along, proabably with a few other folk from aberdeen area.

as a place to ride, the two tracks are good fun, not DH bike teritory as they are far to peadaly to keep the speed for the jumps, 5 and 160 territory i would say.

cheers

Dave

as above - the 5 would be sufficient for Lecht's limited trails.
fwiw, there's still skiing / boarding up there at the moment - may take a month or so before it begins to disappear.

usually, we get around 20 of us heading there for the day.
AFAIK, only 1 of our group has an Orange !

Maybe this is a daft comment but the Lecht's in the middle of nowhere and there's not an awful lot there. Whereas Laggan isn't so very far away and there's a lot there. It seems a bit of an odd choice for a venue. Don't get me wrong, I'd like the lecht to succeed as a riding venue but they seem to have gone into it totally half-assed.

A wee reminder that this years Laggan demo weekend is on the 24th & 25th April, more info on the website http://www.basecampmtb.com

If you get a date sorted for a demo at the Lecht send me the info and I will give it a bit of promo at Wolftrax for you.
