I'm one of the ones you talked to last year. I'd be more than happy to show you and your mates about sometime. Dont like big groups, so max 4 plus me, if thats ok with you.
I think you've met Simon - Two Thumbs - who moved up your way a while ago. Been trying to get up there to see him and get out riding, if we had a local guide so much the better.
My interweb is broken right now - doing this on the neighbours - so if you pm me it might be a day or 2 before I get back to you.
