Big - when are you down and where are you staying exactly. There is a fair bit of riding but it is best to find some local knowledge. We ride Thursdays from salt wood with various splinter groups at different times during the week. Mail me timATj-twren.eclipse.co.uk

I'll pick it up tonight.

Staying at Lyminge, arrive Wednesday so Thursday could be could

Pace etc? I'm not exactly a racing snake, nor am I hucking off drops etc

big - I'm born and bred Lyminge bear, although now reside in Folkestone!
Don't worry about racing snake either I'm 17 + stone!

Lyminge forest is good for an explore and you can't go too wrong, some nice stuff in Covert / Covet wood.

Check out Activ in Folkestone and find them on Facebook. Mail me as I said, although SS could be difficult on a Thursday as a reasonably big group

Actually think there is a race at Fowlmead on Thursday so the group won't be as big nor so full of fast types. Anyone is welcome and we always go in the pub afterwards so pretty social, I will try to get a few of us together one evening and take you out if you like. Are you staying at Sibton Park in the holiday cottages?

Can I be the first, gently to point out, that there are indeed many trails north of Folkestone, and not many to the south?

I was just away to check the atlas for Folkestone. Its near France isn't it?

Holiday cottages are lovely, shame not this week as you've just missed the cricket week.

SS will be fine round the local forest though as relatively flat.
