    Nope, it says they haven't been there in 7 years, probably because every person going down the hill which fucked me up crashed and didn't want to go back, although after about 375 people crashing they opened the gate at the top and cut that hill out

    Pretty sure we accessed it from Inches road on the other side and I was taken out to Virginia road to the Helicopter but my memory could be faulty due to severe trauma suffered on the ride

    That was a very weird day for me. I was a bit late getting away for that lap and Wal's faster than me on a dirt bike, so by the time I got to that hill the cut out was already in place. So I heard all about Wal second hand in the pits by my van. All the counts I was told were all over the place. At the end of the day I did not know if he was just a bit banged up or near dead.
    Compare Pornography now to 50 years ago.
    Then extrapolate 50 years into the future.
    . . . That shit's Nasty.

    I am afraid I was less than impressed with the Balmoral ride. Windy as fuck[Not Grenville's fault]-blew me off the track at one stage. Had to bulldog down a hill, using the bike as support against the wind! But a boring rocky set of farm tracks inho. I did a couple of enduros, which were ok. I did avoid the gnarly hillclimbs tbh, as they are not a strong point, but overall, not impressed. One lap and done. Won't be back.

    Glad I didn't go then, friend of mine went, took his daughter and one of her friends, all 3 are novices to trail rides and they did 2 x novice loop and loved it

    Before Birdlings flat, not a bad ride, easyish terrain, good views over Lake Ellesmere and the coast, I don't think they were very long laps
