yeah, 2-3 days, no more, i personally prefer to go there just for one day, then next day puddletown (if still exists) or watchmoor.

Uk Bike park and Puddletown yes but watchmoore no .. its realy for beginers the biggest drop is like 2 ft and other than that just a helter skelter and a box.

Is there enough at UK bike park to justify spending 2 or 3 days there? will only be buying standard day passes as am a bit skint for the uplift service

It's a very steep hill to walk up if you fancy it. Quite a long way too

'Puddletown' is puddletown forest however you will need to go with someone who has already been because its hard to find the riding spots.

Watchmoor is between Ringwood and Verwood in some woods however its much easier stuff than say uk bike park.

i cant stress enough how badly you will need the uplift if you are going to go to the bottom of the hill. Whip
uplift is so worth the £25

Could you just session little bits at a time to limit your pushing up? Or is it more about doing full runs?

ye that is still great fun. although only worth about a day of riding. you should book onto the uplift this sunday. there shouldn't be many people because its the day after race day although some people may stay on so its hard to say.

That is true on the website it may tell you if there are any camp sites near by. There is a campsite just a few miles a way but i cant remember the name im afraid i pass it when i go there.
