Ride Details
The “Black” Trail at Grizedale forest is one of two technical trails at this trail centre along with the North Face Trail. It’s only around 1km long, and more of a practice track than a trail in the true sense of the word.
The Black Trail at Grisdale – An awesome blast of jumps and berms, with steep descents, not for the faint hearted. There is a split along this section, watch out for the signs and only do the double diamond run if an expert rider
