Hi, Camping at Coleford this weekend so wondering if anyone has a GPS route I could pick up from that area - or any pointers? Thanks

We did this last weekend. Ride the red and blue, ride the downhill trails (riding up the push-up path is quick and easy), then follow a map to other high ground in the forest and scout for cheeky trails. You will be rewarded.

I don't think following a GPX will give you a better result than this but locals may know different.

Oh, and if you want an early hours adrenaline rush, I recommend bivvying in the forest with the wild boar ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Look at a map. Find the road from Mile End to Edge End, just out of Coleford. GO from ME towards EE. Anywhere after the cemetery and turn right down through the woods, the nearer to EE the better, Its down hill to the cycle hire place and explore from there

That's half true. It's quick.

The Globe in Christchurch, cheapest pub meal ever, it's in the middle of the village but not marked on the OS map.

The garden of the Dog & Muffler for pints with a view.

Ping back if you need grid refs.

Where are you camping? Coleford itself has no campsite but there are three or four close by which have a 'Coleford' address. If you're wanting to ride from the site let us know which one.
