not sure really, spoke to a guy up there before who sometimes builds there but never seen anyone there doing any work theres also the old track that heads off down the other side of the bank, its also good but probs could do with a build up as it doesnt get used much i dont think

yeah thats the main track, but about half way down it splits off to the right to the old track (where the drop is before the big step down jump). i keep meaning to take a spade up and and make sure its cleared and still rideable and maybe tie it into the main track more so more people ride it.

another gateshead rider here, been to most local forests for a look around but it seems like most of the old tracks have gone/fallen into disrepair. is there much info left on these spots? we tend to ride beamish mostly but looking for new stuff in chester le street now and again

Over the last few years myself and a few locals have been building/ maintaining some freeride/ DH/ dirt jumps in lambtons forest. Not too far from chester really.
