Hello mate - I had a great time there. I thought conditions where pretty good... most bits were dryinsh with the odd boggy turn or rut.
So first time XCing in Woburn for….er 15 years. I found a couple of great tracks. Thanks to Northern and Beardee for a few pointers
I started with one between the quarry and the road which was great. The single track up to mermaids pond was excellent too. I then looped back around towards shepherds cottage. There is a nice drop there with some good sketchy dh shoots. After a bit of messing about there I circled back to the car park on some nice fast tracks
I then crossed over the road and headed over through the jumps section and down a really fast track to an area by fullers earth lodge called tight and spikey. There were 3 ultra tight wooded tracks. The pine needles on the floor gave it that lovely crunchy pillow feeling… wicked. My favourite section by far
From there I messed about on the hill south of that and found a couple of nice trails including one which was fairly steep twisty and rutted. Then I headed along a nice traversy bit of single tract with a log ride.
The GPS started playing up after that but I did the sandy lane single track then revisited some old spots from my youth further south for old times sake. Then I made my way back to the car park picking up some of the routes from above and finishing with a savage bramble fest on a track on the other side of the road alongside the quarry.
I love finding trails
and there are loads more to find there I am sure. Also loved the random Xmas trees everywhere.
