Bike Trails / Routes

Bike Trails on the farm;

1- Midge; (BLUE - Moderate difficulty) Located behind The Bunkhouse.

To access this trail you need to follow the wide grass cut path on the right hand side of the wooded area behind The Bunkhouse, this takes you up to the bench you can see in the picture one on left below. The trail starts with a few great berms and table tops on its way down the open meadow, then it enters the wooded section of the trail as shown in the centre picture below. The trail continues to wind its way through the trees and ends with the last berm as pictured in final picture on the right below, this exits the wood and then finishes the trail at the point at which you started to head up to the top. This is the original blue trail that was purpose built for people to learn on and gain confidence on before heading off to do the higher graded trails that surround us.

More Blue Trails to come on the farm???? 

We have spoken to Rik Allsop a qualified trail builder. We are looking at a plan with him to maintain up to 4 BLUE trails on our grounds as that is what we can get insurance / public liability for. 

We have the starting options available onsite already, they are listed on the development plans page;
