Great track, only rideable of organised uplift days, keep an eye on the simplydownhill website and facebook groups for dates of any future events and ride days  |

What Oggy said, it's a private track, so you can only ride it on uplift days.
Good track, pretty gnarly though, not one for a beginner downhiller! (just so you know)

I was there the other week, I didn't find it too bad, one of the easier dh tracks in the area, good place tho. As everyone said tho, it's a private track |

First couple of runs were alright, but it's a really physical track. After two or three runs when I got a bit tired, that's when I started to find it hard work. It's definitely the toughest track I've ever ridden! |

How does it compare to Foel Gasnach? That was bad when wet, local knowledge helps too!

I found nant a lot tougher than foel! It's much rockier up there, makes the steep sections even tougher.

I wouldn't put off riding it if I were you, it's just a very demanding track, I won't be doing the race there in feb I don't think. I had a hard enough time at the last uplift there! I'd go to another though.
