Anyone know of any trails or woods near Southend that's worth a go. I no there isn't any proper trails but just need to get out as these roads are boring me to death lol 🙂
Anyone......?
Surely Essex is an MTB mecca. They're holding the olympic MTBing there after all?

We used to play in Hockley Woods and Potash Woods. That was a few years ago, no idea if there's any trails, almost certainly cheeky, but I bet the local kiddies have built something.
Edit. There's a facebook group, if you can understand the locals.
youve got hadleigh downs (home of the olympic course) but you wont get onto the course, or even get a sniff of looking at it, although the actually downs are good to ride. Hockley woods is as far as I know still rideable, although both hockley and the downs suffer badly when it rains. There are some quite large rides on saturdfay and sunday mornings (usually around 20-30 riders) but I dont know where they start from as I always seem to bump into them when Im going uphill and theyre gonig down...
SLightly further afield theres langdon hills where a round of hte NPS series will be held in July...

All likely to be a bit of a slog at the moment! 🙂
Cheers men only just check back!
Cheers for the info men, had a look at the thead that was referred to above but it's closed for new comments :-(, will post on the Facebook group when they accept my request to join, is there any mtb clubs that anyone knows of? Asimov kind of thinking that if there is know waymarkers ect I'm not gonna find them unless I go with someone.
