I think that this is the map that people are on about. As Hwe said it is vague but here we go:

I have spent quite a bot of time riding in the Mendips but do not recognise any of the photos in the club gallery so I am obviousely missing the good bits. I think that this map misses them as well.

Anyway i hope it is useful

Yep - that is the map that we used - very vague indeed! Go straight up the hill opposite the garden centre (it takes you round a bend and past 2 houses and over a cattle grid) then you reach the nice muddy bit once you've gone through a gate. you can follow the forest round and then you reach the top of Black Down. Once you get to the top you have a few options of down hill (the black routes on the map). You need about 2 hours to do the whole thing.

Cheers Nigel,

I've just copied the OS map of that area for a spin tomorrow and can highlight all the routes now.

Got any others?

Hi Karl

How were the mendips on Sunday? Muddy by any chance?

I do not have any other routes around the Mendips but have a look at these websites as they have quite alot of routes eslewhere in the UK.

www.offroadadventures-online.co.uk
http://mbruk.co.uk (some free maps but a lot you have to buy)
www.moredirt.co.uk
www.ridetheclwyds.com (maybe a bit far away)
www.mtbbreconbeacons.co.uk

It depends where you want to go really. Other people at the club probably know of a lot more than I do on the subject.

I hope these are useful

Take it easy.

Cheers Nige,

Was a bit, nice day though, but I'm on a learning curve at the moment....

Thanks for the links as well, I often go away on weekends (activity stuff). Mountain biking's a new passion so alwys on the prowl for some route info where I'm going.

Nice one

Karl
