Two fully way-marked
off-road mountain bike trails sponsored by the
C.T.C. both 3.5 miles long. One is for
novices and beginners, and one for the more
accomplished riders. The novice route mostly uses
forest gravel roads, with 500m of single-track,
and not too much in the way of steep climbing. The
expert trail is mainly single-track, a lot of
which is off-camber and rooty. A lot more climbing
and steeper gradients involved. It is possible to
mix the two trails to suite your riding style. The
South Downs way also runs through the park, with
guide maps available at the park centre. |

Always wear a cycle helmet.
Expect the unexpected because it'll never happen
probably ....?
Give way to walkers & be friendly towards other
forest users, especially sheep.
Footpaths are for walkers only, ..... " you
know what we mean "
Ride flat-out & attack every hill, it could be
your last.
DANGER ! Keep away from all forest operations
like, S.A.S. special training op's. |
