'BIG AND BEAUTIFUL'

Strengths:
Massive tabletops.
Interesting alternative lines.
Great looking forest climbs
Not much traffic

Weaknesses:
Signage to get there! Is it being kept a secret by the locals?

Bizarre section which snakes back and forth over a straight path. (Better than going straight but confusing). If you follow the straight path you'll miss the signpost. If you miss the sign post go left!

There's one section (with the tree stump jumps) which seems too tight. If you get the speed to do the jumps it sends you off course or straight into a tight berm, so it's difficult to get the speed for the next jump. Probably best to just aim to do every other jump, then do that section a few times.

Overall:
Once you've done Whytes Level get back in the motor and do the extra 1 and a half hour drive, it's worth it.

'BEST RIDING!'

Strengths:
Superbly designed- a balance of ascents and decents rather than one huge climb followed by a huge downhill. Singletrack is hugely good and the dowhill at the end is fantastic. Really good pub about 50 metres down the road from the carpark where you can sit next to the river after a long ride.

Weaknesses:
Some more trail facilitites perhaps like bike wash etc? Although maybe that would make it busier and make the trails wear faster? Apart from that, nothing!

Overall:
I had my best day's riding there ever.
