      Yeah mate. It's worth a trip. I think it'll be even better once they get the big flow trails complete. At the moment most of the trails are pretty damn hard so for beginners it wouldn't be that inclusive... not compared to Glentress for example. That would be my only criticism.

    awesome looking trails. A trick for midgees is to put a drop of vanilla (can be perfume) on the back of your neck. They disappear.
