Moving from tunny wells down to Hastings later this week, so was wondering if anyone knows of any trails etc?

Cheers!

Dunno but if you get any decent answers could you give me a heads up!

Friston is pretty good, some decent natural XC, some decent climbs and downhill section, it's right on the South Downs Way too, which has some great riding. Also worth a look is Abbots Wood near Polegate, pretty flat but some decent natural trails. Stanmer Park nr Brighton?

@ osteo1

i've just sent tom an email. (rambling)

i don't come here much anymore, but here's what i sent to tom..

i've only lived here for eighteen month but have found enough to keep me interested. i'd be happy to show you a few local loops, but if your fit you may wanna ride on your own.
i've just started a new job , so the bike has taken a back seat for six weeks...

the great wood next to battle has a good loop that runs around the outside edge of the wood. this can be extended by using petley wood (whatlington) to crowhurst/burnthouse wood then on to ashes wood. a little further out you have darwell wood or lordship wood. a little further still, beckley wood looks good on the map but i've not made it there yet. there's also some good bits in faggs wood at ham street. i've just been told there's some bits around bexhill, trying to get the exact location...

hasting and the surrounding area is mostly clay, in winter (or this summer) try to stay away from the lower lying trails as they end up being un-passable due to the very sticky clay.

all this would be a lot easier to show you on a map ( os 124) so if you wanna meet up for a pint i'd be happy to share my limited local knowledge.

same applies, if you wanna meet for a pint i'd be happy to show you on a map.
