We spent an enjoyable and hot day last Saturday at Stainburn Forest in Yorkshire: http://www.singletraction.org.uk/stain_project.htm
I'd borrowed a Commencal Meta 5.5.2 for the day, Sean was on his Iron Horse Mk. 3 and A.O was on a Supreme Mini DH. We also met up with PJ from Leeds and Sean's mate Mark. The Warren Boulder trail is super technical and not very hardtail friendly, but great fun. Lots of big rocks and drop offs. Its certainly a change from the mostly smooth and not technical at all trails you can find at Coed Llandegla and Glentress.
There's some great routes over the road as well which are less demanding, so there is something for everyone. It was lovely and quiet as well, the car park was empty and we only saw one other rider in the four hours we were there.
My thoughts on the Meta 5, its a great bike and once I got the pressure in the rear shock right it climbed just fine as well as descending unbelievably quick if you let it.
