Very helpful staff who kindly refilled our water bottles - also pointed out that on entering the main carpark there is a public tap next to the unit/toilets on the left.

Friendly staff, reasonable prices, very much recommended.

My favourite sector of the Pedalhounds DH track, head into the woodlands for some steeper trails down this hill cleave with plenty of features along the way. The first is a drop over a log into a left-hand corner, before a series of steeper swoops. Then there's a tricky left hander (again with roots, of course) into a larger drop, before some more fantastic corners, roots and another, even larger drop. The drops have great, downhill landings but the final few are not rollable.

A high plateau section on the red-rated Cafall Trail, Dragon Run leads you through the dark woodland plantation before leading out onto open singletrack to the Pedalhounds DH track. You have to work a bit to keep it flowing through the plantation, as it's relatively flat and there are some tight turns between the rows of trees. Keep your eyes peeled for the old, gnarled and twisted trees here that are a stark contrast to the straight lines of the pines.

This section of the red-rated Cafall trail is named Rocky Valley for good reason, with some swooping singletrack leading to some rock rolls and little drops as well as some rooty sections too. Its great fun for intermediate and experienced riders alike, with some interesting line choices to be had! Towards the end of this section there's a post showing two options, with an easier and more technical route. I'd suggest pausing here to go and take a look at the harder line before riding it, if that's the one you fancy. This line has a rooty drop with a narrow landing into a left-hand corner followed by a another rooty drop back onto the main line.

After contouring around the hillside from the fire road along the start of the Cafall trail section named Quadzilla, you then enter a series of switchbacks to climb more sharply up the bank. These hairpin bends can be pretty tricky, not to mention the rocky and rooty features in between, so it's a great section to help you brush up on your skills.
