I've done up to 30 miles with out repeating much but the actual area is relatively small so you need to know the area or you'd probably end up going in one end and coming out the other having covered only a few miles!

Quite surprised at that Jase. I always assumed mileage would be tiny as you seem to be forever twisting and turning.
Edit;
I now remember someone clocked it out and back from Stockgrove and that was 13 miles without really doing anything in Woburn, so yeah I can see it now.Posted 2 years ago # -
Can't do tomorrow. I prefer to get started on rides early (9 or 10ish) as most places seem to be a bit emptier at that sort of time then just get busier as the day goes on!
Definitely want to get there at some point before the end of my easter holidays though, got next week then its back to uni for the last slog!

Going to attempt a short ride tomorrow morning (first ride in a very long time!!!!)If you see a portly bearded individual comatose by the side of the trail, give us a kick please.
What new stuff should I check out, is there supposed to be a new trail near the heather run??

Hello moosh
Turn right at the top of the Heather Run, it's the one that's clearly man made as I think there's another bit of trail at the top as well that follows the fence?
But there's bits everywhere.Posted 2 years ago # -
Ok, can someone give me a location to park at i can pop in the satnav and hopefully ride right into some point of woburn.
Im so getting lost.

Try MK17 8TA that'll take you up into the centre of Woburn trails (commonly known as the sandy cross roads) though they've just tarmac'd it!
Play area is on the A5130 Woburn road (Apsley Heath) Coming from Woburn Sands, there's a blocked off Quarry entrance on the left. Then a few yards on there's a grassy area on the right. That's the play area behind the fence.

That would be cool. I'll be parking somwhere between the start and finish. I'll on a grey Pearson cross bike. Want to register at the start for my route card for free beer & chips.

Was down this morning as well. Was my first time and didn't see everything, but managed to find the Empire Strikes Back, find lots of nice trails, meet Ken Shields and I think i saw Jedi doing some instructing near Empire Strikes Back...with a dude with a beard i think.
Oh Ken, i think i went the wrong way out of the gates to get to the roller coaster as come to a crossroads with Woburn Golf Course straight over and no signs of a church so gave up. Will have to be guided there sometime.
Might need to sort out a more fluid route in future tho

Hi
These are typical Woburn rides. We are normally around near the Church, top of the hill, about 9.00 Sunday mornings if anyone wants some local guiding, or ping me an email for contact number.

Could have sworn I saw a beard. Might not have been you then Jedi. Saw your van tho!
@Blurboy: Might take you up on some guiding in a week or so mate.

I saw a group of 3 riders, 1 with a beard. Plus I've got a beard at the mo but I was billy no mates yesterday.
Planning on getting out a couple of times a week for a while and try and get some fitness back.

jedi, Thomthumb has a mahoosive wildman of a beard and he was one of the guys you were coaching
Jamie, that's the correct crossroads where I said to take the right turn up to the church and onto the rollercoaster. Blurboy would be a good guy to hook up with as he really knows his way about at Woburn

Looks like Jedi has the dreaded Beard Blindness. Apparently he has walked right past Brian Blessed without noticing him.
Cheers for the tip Ken, confident-ish i know the way now. I did ask someone but they were not local and didn't know.
