As lot of you know I have asked questions on here in the past and 1 or 2 years later it magically happens.
So I could do with some help from 'locals' in the south.
So do you ride in this area on some cool gravity related trail?

So if the answers is yes then where?
And can you PM me a local contact, trail builder, person how runs the woodland/venue.
Bumping because whatever you've got planned I want to see it happen.
I'm afraid I don't have any suggestions other than the old uk bike park site
Aston Hill ( probably your best bet ) & Chicksands are within the NE area of your map.
Evans RideIT Hatfield also use some long (for Herts) descents.
Broxbourne Woods are (I believe) council owned and may play ball with any scheme which could also perhaps include the lee valley sports village virtually next door.
Do the Woodland Trust ever allow this kind of event on their land ??
Tidworth Freeride
Chicksands ... within the NE area of your map.
'fraid it isn't
Ok so I hand most on my list.
broxbourne woods added to investigate .
I not you include the M4, Heathrow and Gatwick so Wales, The Alps and beyond 🙂
There is a reason so many happy bikers live int north
You've got half the Midlands in there ^^ 😆
QECP? Though I think you know about that one...
Blandford or puddleton
Isnt want your proposing exactly the same as the gravity project.
Add in
1. Froyle Quarry
2. Rogate
3. That one down Kent way I forget what its called
At first glimpse I thought that was a map of the route 😳
So did I :).
I was hoping for a proper xc race closer to soton than the gorricks or bbd.
Any chance of having an xc race (rather than enduro) at qecp? It's a fantastic venue,
Me too. I was thinking, now that would have been some ride.............
@ timmys
My bad. Its my local, from Hertford, so didn't look properly
A late summer series XC in the south would be good.
Been thinking about venues today and as I drove past it
matterly bowl/basin just outside Winchester
Used for many different things including motorcross and Boomtown music festival. Has also been used for a southern xc race or two I believe. The bowl walls are fairly steep and there is a field above the wooded area that has enough elevation to be similar to head down.
There is also I believe a tikki bar in the woods built for the boomtown festival

I know the gravity project guys well and no it's nothing like what they do, however I do like some of there 'new' venues 😉scu98rkr - Member

FYI froyle quarry is no longer a venue. It's closed for good.
The area on the map already has lots of XC and DH racing. DT78 QECP is the only one so far that is not on the list 😉
Scott greensands bike pqrk near bigglsewade was a thing for a while, there's also tony/Jedi's place at hearts shore, not certain he'd want it as a race venue, but a top bloke none the less, may be worth chatting to
There also surrey hills stuff, hurtwood, are the wisley trails still there ?
That being said id be up for a race following that red outline !
So Im giving it a crack! Southern Enduro - First race 1st Nov 2015.
