Going fast down it isnt easy (never managed to go fast myself).
The locals and folk from up North love the gondola access.
If weeksy59 thought FB was ridiculous for nationals, wait until Glencoe Red in a few weeks and walk the black there. Both awesome tracks. The red is a long Fort William rough section track. Cant wait for it just for a fun race weekend.
I'll not go further but let's say that last few years have proven where your "modesty" has led you
Oh right...
