Awaba Suggestions and Accomodation

I'm up Awaba way in a month or so and wanted to find some overnight accommodation near the trail so I can get an early start. Does anyone have a recommendation .. I'm struggling to find any great info on the Caravan Park whats it like?

Re the trail .. I gather the XC loop is the main feature .. is there anything else that shouldn't be missed?

Cheers Aaron

Distances of Glenrock trails?

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Hey

Was wondering if anyone knew the distances of the trails at Glenrock as I don't have a GPS or bike computer.

I normally ride a loop from grass trees, management trail around to snakes and ladders, quarry loop, seismic, pump action, gun club road, double barrel, twisties, reload, Kenny's, BJ's and shit happens from there I redo BJs and then use to management trail to ride back to the exit at fernleigh bike path.

I currently have no idea how long this loop is, any info or guesses would be appreciated.

Warners Bay - area map and track details

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

OK I created an area for that which appears in some menus. I put quite a bit of information about it and put a gps track in for the main fire trail, have a number of single tracks I can add to this pretty much straight away.

HOWEVER, the summary I entered doesn't appear on the page here:
http://glenrocktrailalliance.com/node/40094

And the track doesn't show either (sorry I have submitted a couple of times now).

Happy to flesh this out more and add some photos but not going to the trouble of doing any more if they aren't going to show up.

Advice please.

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hey guys, new here and new to mountain biking but just a heads up I ride through the Jesmond bushland a couple of times a week and noticed there were no maps or photos of the area so am putting together some photos and trail details for all. Work in progress, more photos and tracks to go yet but I have been learning it myself over the last few weeks as I find new ways through it on a commute from Lambton pool back to my place.

Killingworth All Mountain/Easy Downhill track

I have just been for a ride at my local trails here in Killingworth. Whilst most people know about the great singletrack out here, I am not sure if many people know about the old downhill track and the tracks that shoot off it. I have been interested in linking together some of these trails to make a good All Mountain/Easy Downhill track, and today I think I might have been able to link together trails to make this track happen. I rode the trail today in its unloved form and it was great fun. I am planning to start doing some work to make the trail nicer, and put up some signage.

Killingsworth MTB Questions

I have never been MTBing at killingsworth but would like to go and try out the trails since HMBA are hosting races there this year. I have a few questions about the track:

- Where does the track start?
- Does the track go in a loop or are there separate tracks (like glenrock)?
- Are the tracks sign posted?
- How technical is the track?
- How many km's is the track about?
