Hi chaps, as some of you are aware its hard to get out all the time on the bikes, so i was thinking of getting the kids out for a taster ride in the mud!
Few choices of location,
Thorndon, Epping, Hadleigh etc.
No1 is only 5 so it will only be a small but very frustrating ride.

Anyone interested in sharing frustration?

My daughter is always saying she wants to go riding... Being 14 she'll gladly be baby sitter and kiddies duties ;-)

What about Ingrebourne valley/Hornchurch country park. Its got tarmac and gravel paths with a few dirt ones if you look about. Its also got about a 1 mile purpose built single track circuit. one half climbs up the hill on switch backs and then desends over twisting berms and the other half passes through 2 small pump sections via a bit of single track through the copse.

Free parking and can be ridden what ever the weather, was great fun in the snow

Hainult park is also a good place.

hollow ponds is pretty easy to get to even from brentwood but i take your point

Although my 7yr old is out of action for a while, my 4 1/2 yr old son is fighting fit and will be comming with me. he's new to no stableisers and doing quite well, this would be a great chance for him to improve. count me in.
