This past weekend saw me visit Whinlatter Forest to become reacquainted with its fantastic facilities after nearly a year since my last visit. Safe to say I can't remember why I never went back sooner!!
I rode the blue graded "Quercus" trail and both north and south sections of the wonderful "Altura" trail. The blue is great and flowy and you can definitely have plenty of fun on this. It also leads neatly into the South section of the Altura trail leaving the awesome final North side descent to finish up with before heading off.
If you're anything like me and a bit anal and like things to be wrapped up nicely let me tell you this way of riding up there is VERY satisfying!!

Theres nothing I can say that everyone else hasn't already said but if you're looking at this considerin a visit...just go. Get yourself there. It's a great ride and the facilities at the trail head are excellent (the cafe does great cakes 😉) and the bike shop on site is full of super friendly folk who'll do just about anything to make sure you're golden for you're visit!!
