Was thinking of a bit of a blast around these woods as I haven't been there for a few years.
When I last visited, the pub on 7 mile lane was a bit more biker friendly. Now it seems you can't use the carpark unless you are eating (fair enough).
Are there any nearby places to dump the car? Anyone want to show 3 bikers from Tunbridge Wells the trails on Thursday evening?
Theres a bit nexr to the pub but you can only squeeze in about 2 or 3 cars...Last time I was there as you say they were much more biker friendly. We drank there (but not eat) a few times which helped.
Alternatively a short way up the road (towards the A20) there's a turning and entrance for an industrial site. It is normally closed (gated) so can park in entrance area.
aw - cheers. I'll have a look out for those spots! Might be able to pick the out on google maps...
You can park just up the road from my house in Maidstone and ride off road pretty much all the way there! I can't do this week, but am happy to show you around when you next fancy a blast. I think I have ridden with you before anyway (sillykents?)
Hi Boris, yes we definitely did meet a few times. I'd love to take you up on that offer. I can reschedule the Mereworth ride to next Thursday, just let me know if that works for you - my email is in my profile.
Cheers.
If I'm not riding from home I normally park up in one of the laybys on the top (W) end of Swanton road near the dirt jump area. Slightly North of Gover Hill and just West of Peckham Hurst on the OS map where three bridleways meet at the road. Direct access to the trails from there.
Alternatively you can generally park up in the village hall car park in West Peckham. Stiff road climb to get you warmed up for a blast around the woods and quite nice fast bridleway descent via Yotes Court on the return leg followed by short road ride back to West Peckham. Handy for post ride pint in The Swan too.
I'd normally be well up for a Thursday night ride, but don't think I can make this week :cry:. Hope you have a good one.
