If at first you dont succeed, spend 6 hrs in casualty, then try again !!!

Leckhampton was really good worth the walk up...the DH trails were spot on steep and technical....There number one DH runs for me :y
We did 4.5 runs in just under 2 hours .

Lee, I wouldn't say it's a 25min push up. I'd think 15mins bottom to top is about right as long as you don't have Nathan chewing your ear off all the way up :P .

However, the main line is effectively broken into 3 sections so you can session either one of the sections if you find the whole thing too much. As Justin said though, I would think 5 full runs would be good going. Same as any push up DH though - you only get out what you put in!

Video below gives you a good idea of it, but as ever, it's actually quite a bit steeper than the video shows. I'm still heading up there as weather's gonna be too good to waste. In my opinion it's closer than most of the stuff we do to the Alps, so good training. Get yourselves up there!

I reckon you'll be knackered after 5!

Try this one.
- The secret to mountain biking is pretty simple. The slower you go the more likely it is you’ll crash.
- No one gets hurt in the air
- There is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing.
