Lee you would like Moel Famou for you xc riding, plenty of hills to climb. And go down, got a nice 25 mile route here if you want it?
And also Penmachno, really techy trail on a hard tail with some quick free flowing single track.

I'm Finding My Feet Here Now
I'm not jealous much .... Honest .... Riding ground is really limited down here , only one local trail centre that's overused and not maintained in the slightest , next nearest one is an hours drive in the centre of Bristol but is allegedly pants .... Which leaves us with forest of dean which is even further again :-/ not great when your focus is the 1.8 Zetec ( shit on fuel edition ) lol

managed to get a few hours on my dh bike sunday at style cop!
looks like they have been building there, some of the new lines are going to be good when finished but what pisses me off is they never maintain the old lines, why keep building while there is old lines that need fixing

Tev have you rode Lee Quarry? Your Alpine 160 would suit it very well.
Cragg is next to it aswell.
Might be along drive just for them 2 from where you live.

Well today I finished building this.....
2012 Nukeproof scalp Large
CRC started selling these frames off for Ł880 with the vivid shock so I sold my old norco and transfered the parts onto this. Very happy with it and have been wanting a large frame for a while as well. Im surprised that it isnt much lighter than my norco though always got told other bikes were a lot lighter than norcos but it seems it was all bollocks.
