Reconned Inners XC route alternates. Verdict its no good
Spotted numerous trails bisecting the XC route but most were running straight down the hill, basically alternate old school DH runs, some rideable but very quickly losing altitude you'd need to regain and no obvious way of integrating into a loop.
The trail i read about after post 29 is frankly unrideable, I pushed the bike up through mud, rocks, roots and off camber stuff for several hundred metres, never got to ride once, so gave up in disgust and returned to XC trail.
XC trail is not old DH trail least ways not the majority of it, most of the old DH stuff is still there.
XC trail is rideable on a rigid as I discovered but its sore on the hands, arms, shoulders.
Dave DH says there are trails in the hills to the north of Inners around the moor the very old DH course (not to be confused with the stuff to the south of the river) of TK's rememberance with the old water tank at the top. Maybe should recon them :?
