Anyone been yet?

Info



Sounds rather good - has been said it's "like Wincobank should have been".

Used to graze myself regularly on the old track as a nipper. I'll run past it later and grab a photo or two.

Forgot my phone so no piccies yet.

Appears they've been hard at work and looks pretty good (cost £10,000 according to the local rag). Looks to be more technical and tighter than the original. The transitions between jumps are really quite short and it's probably about 60m end to end in a straight line. Some of the banking corners look like they're eroding already. Guess they'll need regular attention.

If anyone really wants piccies I can pop round again and take them.

Finally got around to getting some photos. The grass is overgrown so not so easy to see but hopefully gives you an idea.

First straight and corner


View down the track from start


I can get some more if required.
