Festa's the person to ask I think. The picture made me chuckle though. The main jumps are bottom of A2 and B2/B3 I think. Not ridden there for a while.

Cool, not 100% on when we're going over, the thread about going Langdon on Sat morning sparked it all but not sure we'll make that and it was way too early by about an hour considering we'll be riding there as my racks screwed and his van isnt on the road until next month ! Will post up when we're sorted though, no worries !!!

Festa's your man - joint him on a great xc ride over thorndon a while ago, basically it was a giant loop back to the kart track. cant remember the route, hopefully he'll pick up on this thread.
warley dh/jumps are in b2/3

the Laindon link in MTB trails ^^ up top has some bridleways marked pretty well to start with, not sure how much more involved it gets as havent ridden there yet, but its on the ever growing list !! being a Newbie means there's loads of catching up but i cant wait for the lighter evenings so our Wednesday evening hack goes back to Danbury.... :thumbup:

Try the link above, was recorded by a friend when i went over Thordon a while back, incudes most of the good bits but does miss out an extra loop at the south entrance. There is always the sunday ride that always happens if you want the proper tour

Dont think the maps gonna be of much help, a lot of the fun bits are well hidden so unless you no you wont find them..

best bet is come with me or one of the other regulars but dont think ill be there this weekend as prob going Langdon Saturday plus went yesterday and most of it was too slippery to really ride the roll ins and down hill bits, would suggest get to the Kart track on Sunday morning before 10am as theres always a nice group that ride all the good bits from 10am to about 12am Damo is your man for Sundays, hes a good bloke and will show you around....

I tend to ride from Kart track into Donkey Reserve then Hartswood then Thorndon North, then Thorndon South then loop back..

Cant make Sundays just yet as the missus would frown on it, i'm working on it though, She goes to the Gym on saturday mornings so i get a free pass !!
