I'm moving to gloucester in the near future (once i've sold my flat), anyone know what the riding is like around that way?

Good riding on Cotswold Escarpment above town, Forest of Dean about 15 miles away, good access to Mendips & Quantocks to the south and to South Wales parks (Cwmcarn, Afan, Glyncorrwg) and natural (Black Mountains, Brecon Beacons) plus Worcestershire Alps (Malverns) just up the road.

as psling says, as a location from which to go riding it's pretty well located but Im not sure it makes up for having to actually live there 🙂

Still with your user name you should fit right in 😉

Forest of Dean is on your doorstep, Malvern, Cleeve/Leckhampton Hill, Wyre Forest, Cotsworlds are a short trip away.

twinned with Royston Vasey!

orat least the bit where my sistser lives is

Ref MrOvershoot "With your username you should fit right in"
Yup, I was born in gloucester. I left when i was still young though, thats how i learnt to read and write.

may i make a suggestion, don't move to Gloucester, anywhere else in Gloucestershire is ok but not Gloucester…

riding is OK, mud in winter is a pain though.

welcome to painswick beacon/ cranham woods, sweet trails in beech forest, when they are not being blocked by jim bowen.

What Stoner said.

There's quite a few of us around there though, so you should be able to find someone to ride with. You can even join the "hasn't it been quiet recently, it's almost as if the fella that organises it hasn't really bothered for a while" STW Cotswold Massiv.

2nd what mrmo said, not a place where I would want to live tbh

Its quite a rough town for a night out, having Cheltenham so close, I would be inclined to look more that way if I had a choice.

Well if you do make it over here then get in touch and we'd be happy to show you the best bits 🙂
