Hopton was my first proper DH track, absolutely loved it, first run was a bit scary as I was following a mate who was quicker than me anyway but who'd also ridden there before.

Nice pics

That's how to get there..

When you turn left at the castle (Currently a building site), it's a couple of minutes at slow speed down the single lane road whilst looking for an open gate with a well used track up the left hand side of the field.. If you go on a sunday, you'll proably see people there every week until the end of the summer now, but i still highly recommend doing an uplift day first!

As for finding the trails, it's best to go with someone, the trails are easy to find, but there are a few of them!

There are some uplift days coming up there soon, and i'm gonna try to get on them, and they're the best way to find out about the place! No pushing, and session all the tracks as many times as you want..

The uplift dates are posted here.. http://www.pearcecycles.co.uk/uplift_dates They'll be released for Hopton in the next couple of weeks.

The problem I have is that it is near to work = mid week riding as I live 70 miles from work

Can you possibly rephrase that for me as i don't understand what you're saying...

They're near to a 200mile round trip from mine to there anyway!

If you had to do the M6 commute every day would you want to do it again at the weekend?
