Quiz: Name That Trail

Think you know your UK trails? Then have a go at this quiz, put together by one of our Singletrack Forum users.

We’re told answers will be coming soon, but if you’re really stuck – or really keen to show off your knowledge – join in the discussion on the Forum here.

We’re quite keen to know the answers ourselves, as there are one or two spots we’d especially like to check out. And, living in Calderdale, there are some lovely looking flowy swoopy trails there that we’d love to go and ride as a change from our rocky steeps. Not that we don’t appreciate our rocky steeps, but it’s always nice to have a change of scene.

Calderdale, we love you. But you have no corners.

Since we don’t know all the answers, apologies if any of the footage is on cheeky trails – as you know, we don’t knowingly post anything showing unsanctioned trails. But on the assumption that all of the trails shown are legal, it’s a pretty good showcase for UK trails – plenty of variety, plenty of scenery, and not too much by way of foul weather. To be fair, there’s a bit of a northern bias – if anyone in the south has ridden enough trails to put together a similar quiz, we’d love to hear from you.

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.

@markshires Thank you! And glad to hear they’re legal! You get about a fair bit – was that just one year’s worth of riding?

@stwhannah looking back it was a good years worth of riding! They’ve all been ridden since about March I think.
