Big climbs but I think they are all singletrack. Technical climbs not really my thing. Did enjoy watching people perspiring as I sit in the back of a nice comfy transit van uplift.

No back home to Wrexham on the sunday morning. Big climbs, sounds like a good workout then  |

There is a saying in snowboarding cicles "you have to earn your turns" or rent a helicopter  |
