Limp Foot Mtb Destination rating

This place is just buzzing with mountain bikers and families looking for a good day in the forest. I think it is great they cater for complete first timers to weekend warriors.

 Any all weather trail centre is good in my opinion as long as you do not mind a bit of the sloppy stuff you will be sure to have a blast. Whatever the weather!

There is bike hire on site and also places for a bit to eat. One thing I would say especially if going at the weekend or over the school holidays is that the car park can get very busy, so plan to arrive early.
