the best link i can find is this ....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7M4DwsRp9A&feature=related
theres loads more than the video shows and it looks epic...
its in stockport somewhere, got a postcode. think its pay to ride but i can live with that if the tracks good fun, theres no good riding realy over this way, healy nabs ok but if its halfway towards this place then id rather go the extra.

aye, im a biker reborn, just got back into it after 10 years out, got no one to ride with either, seems theres not much point having a DHiller out here if you cant cant get places to ride it, im just fortunate enough to have 4 wheels aswell as 2. if you fancy farmer johns at some point let me know, i could meet you out there or pick you up half way if you dont drive

cool im more DH/Fr but i dont mind Xc. im not great at the black stuff i just prefer the rush abit more. i used to ride with my pops aswell but he slowing a little as im trying to speed up haha.
i live a few doors down from collegiate so if you fancy going for a ride some time we could just hit up the northshore and take it from there...i drive ( with a tow bar rack) so healy nab and gisburn etc are do able aswell
