Dowies was great/muddocks/Bluebell and Dowies3.Found that new trail above it which looks like it has only just been cut nice trail that runs into Dowies3.
Dowie himself was doing abit of berm repairing today,some people a guy was coming down Dowies as i was going up the track by it to have another run and he was moaning about the nasty sand.How does he think these trails get built and repaired!!!they were not formed by the ice age.
Theres Dowie spending his own time and people moan unreal.
Dowies 3 is settling in nicely and that new bit near the end is good.

Was down there on Thursday. Had a Strava PR by about 20 seconds down Dowies! To say it's riding well at the moment is an understatement...

Can somebody point me in the right direction to find these Dowies trails? Where should I park and how do I find them?

Best way, go to the fountain inn at parkends website and look at their cycle routes page, their google profile has loads. Beware though dowies gets VERY muddy in the wet!

I always park in the pedalway centre and ride over to them,but if you dont know the forest it would be easier to find a needle in a haystack.Dowies are by Ellwood.
