Not much on the proposed olympic XC park but check near the end of this video for the crazy pic which seems to include a shore drop etc...

Looks hopeful!

I agree the HSE will ruin it , i went to Thetford forest and a new wooden run they put in , they put in a gap jump , but it was only 4 inches wide so that a childs bike can still ride over the gap without falling off .
What a complete waste of time putting a gap in it .

Yep is very true. We seem to lack the style of shore in this country that made it legendary in Canada. H&S just limits so much that it's no wonder a lot of people here think shore is pointless. It has massive potential which is so underused...

The FC (in england anyway) have a policy that you can't have gaps in shore and are very uneasy about dirt doubles as well. So limiting  Sad
