Cheers, we did the trip ourselves on the cheap, the lads i went with have been doing it forever, fly with monarch from manchester, stay in seedy hotel down in benalmodena called jupiter, depending on how many go we either rent either a day van, or a box van and car, take turns driving the uplifts. Costs nothing, if you fancy living it up a bit more then 'roost' will take you to all the same places and look after you, i hear they're really good.
Track wise, most of its on the sram test track, above bendalmodena, early on there are 2-3 shots on an open trail, thats the shimano track that runs next to the sram one. These are both dedicated, though unofficial, dh tracks. There are a Some of the other trails from my mate eddy, with the camera under his peak (not on the side, thats me), if you drive right to the top of the same hill (900m elevation?), theres a massive long trail called the antenna run, thats brilliant. Also some clips from ojen, 45mins south of where we stayed, its an incredible descent, but you need to get there early as its full of walkers.

Went for a ride on Woodbury Commmon this morning. Apart from crashing at about 20mph on the pebbly surface, (Just a few cuts n bruises for me) it was a nice ride, and I found a few new good trails.
Crashed just after the left hander, after thinking I had held it..

No pics but a couple of quick vids from today. I'm already sick of Winter - the trails are sloppy and slippery and its too dark too early.
Nice to get out today though - been weeks..
