You're welcome. (: Glad to be helping the cycling community out. I don't mean to be entirely negative with that post, so look upon it at a critic's angle.

Well...I did the courses. Keep in mind that I've only been using my Mountain Bike (road cycling purposes) for 4 months now; I am no professional. Hereby my honest review/opinion = Jury: Hiker's dream, Mountain Biker's nightmare. It's massive. A very big plot with 2 - 3 trails, though not for mountain biking. I may be no seasoned cyclist but it does not take a professional cyclist to differentiate a mountain biking trail from an alleged (fake) mountain bike trail. I personally feel very disappointed for having gone there in the first place, for several reasons: At the beginning, the sand on the trail is almost too thick to ride. I just-just managed to ride through it without slipping. This is not for mountain bikers in my opinion. If your trail is not too sandy, it would definitely be too rocky/steep (sometimes both) to pioneer with a mountain bike, unless you're closely related to our Burry Stander. If you don't have clip-in/metal pedals, do not do this course as you'll continually smash them against the rocks in the way, which you at times just can't avoid. You better be a maestro in the art of momentum, because most uphills are too rocky for you to pass if you're not going at a constant speed. Chances are thin that you'd get lost. If you're looking to amplify your obstacle skills on two wheels, you are more than welcome to go to this park. Regardless of that, it's still way better suited for the hiker than the cyclist. There are only two vertical drops, of which I didn't do either. The rock-gardens were so full-on that I had to push nearly 70% of the whole course!! That's why I am not going back there soon, if ever. I met a Moslem guy at the gate as I left the plot, and told him that I did not have a pleasant ride, stating that I had to walk with my bike through most of the course because it was unrideable. He said that they are "planning on building bridges at the hardest parts to make it easier on us." But only time will tell if that's going to happen. But yeah, if you're a real professional, you CAN do the course. Not necessarily enjoy it. I know I didn't.

I'm planning on going the route towards here, tomorrow morning sometime. If I decide to do Hedianga, I'll post an update on the status of the plot, though I'm figuring that by now it'd have some major developments since the last post in this thread. It has been a year already.
