Very muddy and slippy at the moment, as to be expected with all the rain we've had. Had to carry bike across stream for a few feet as too big a gap to jump.

Part of the XC race course on Woodbury Common, expect rooty undulating, tight and twisting trails here that are a real blast!

AKA the Holly Trail, a singletrack bridleway along the eastern edge of the common next to the fields. Best on a MTB and sketchy fun on a gravel bike!

AKA the Holly Trail. Brilliant on a MTB, mostly rideable on a gravel bike. Look out for the slippery roots and puddles when wet!

Great trail that skirts around Woodbury Common to the east, a singletrack through the mixed deciduous woodland.

More advanced jumps than Yettington, all set in a natural bowl. It can be wet as the soil takes longer to drain. Nice flight of gap jumps and some tables and drop offs. Some overhead cover. Unfortunately the landowner has closed off the small parking spot so park in the Four Firs car park and ride on over - you can either go cross country or on the road. No signage to the jumps so following the tracks from the road is easiest.

Its a fantastic set of jump lines to keep you amused, something for everyone. The area is semi covered so it offers some protection from the rain and wind.
