Never mind paying through the nose for some tame rides with a negligible risk of causing permanent damage when you have a real chance of breaking a clavicle (dislocating a shoulder, maybe?) in the quarry?
There’s no entry charge – if you can ride your bike up there you’re in.
There’s no queues
But there’s no uplift either
and, of course, you’re not fixed to any rails!
If you follow the site map…
You eventually…
…reach the best ride. It’s the Big One!
Now that’s what I call a rollercoaster!
(Although It’s funny you know, it felt much steeper at the time!)
Oh, and if you want a guided tour, best speak to Shaman.
Late extra – there’s been some criticism on STW of “riding photos”, so in the interests of “art” and “photography” I give you the almost vertical Shaman! (Please excuse the flaky editing!)

Thanks T
I’ve been reading a bit of criticism of riding photos on STW – they’re just not interesting enough!
Time to pull the joker from the pack!
