Strengths: The riding, the trails, the guiding, the banter, the climate, the food, Simon's never-ending mickey-taking and Emma's tolerance for loud mountainbikers, everything really. Generally a really good, chilled weeks biking on what I reckon are the best trails in the world.
Weaknesses: If you're a real stress-head who gets wound up by little things like timekeeping and avarything being planned well in advance, thicken up your skin a bit before you go. From my point of view, there's nothing at all I'd list.
Overall: I've been twice now and I'm going again next year. 'Nuff said!
Strengths: The guiding, the food, the staff's ability to ignore our misdemeanours when returning from BarBush a bit late and wobbly.
Weaknesses: They've gone a bit family orientated of late.
Overall: The accommo was clean and comfy, good food and plenty of it.
Our guides (freeride) have always been excellent and have shown us new, bigger, scarier stuff every year. Plenty of mucking about but they do make sure you won't do anything too silly. Support is good, especially when I trashed 2 bikes in 2 days....
As above, they seem to have gone a bit more family orientated, probably due to the profusion of 'budget' accommo that's sprung up.
Not the cheapest, but I reckon good value when you look at the overall package, support and professionalism.
