Morning all
Hows it going?
Just joined the forum as Im going to pick my new Scott nitrous 30 up from northampton this morning.
Me and my girlfriend have been mountain biking for about 2 months now ( ok we arnt any good but we do like to hit the jumps). Anyway we've been to have a look at temple newsom and it looks cool. little small but thats good as you arnt spending ages getting back to the start line.
Going up to Dalby tonight camping outside the forest then have all day in the jump park and on the north shore. Might even have a go at the downhill section tomorrow, dont think the bird will be up for it. lol
Anyway, just let you all know, the best place ive been soo far is Delamere forest near chester. its got everything there, you should see the size of the jumps in there. loads of downhill sections (short but well worth a go). loads of xc but the only down fall is a short section of north shore, about 10 meters long. and its pants too. oh and before i forget this forest is open all year round, unlike Dalby. I advise you to go check it out.
Anyone needing a map of where all the DH is and north shore, just drop me a line and i can send you a map of the area with locations on it.
See you on the trails
Gareth

Hey Gareth, Welcome to the forum, you've probably noticed that theres not much going on at the moment, probably due to everyone been out playing on the old cycles.
If you want send us the map (webmaster@teamfatknacker.co.uk) and i'll put it on a server somewhere and send you an img link and you can perhaps say a little more about it. Humm am trying to remember if we have a trails section on this forum... muh.
Have fun
Boydie
(ste)

Nice ride, looks sweet! Just edited the post above it so the link works... just removed trailing / Start a post up in the trails section with what ever info you want to put.. that will be cool.. and use bbcode stuff to show the pic, if you want to that is!

Hehe
If you click the reply or create thread button (instead of using quick reply), you'll see a section of buttons appear "add tads" to the side. on the bottom row 4th one in theres a button with a picture in. click that and in the message box [img][/img] appears in between those paste your address to the picture.
should look something like
[center][img]http://www.garethpayne.com/images/delamere_map.jpg[/img][/center]
the center ones are just to put it in middle... or centre derrrrr lol
