My lad lives down there and I’ve just been for a few days, rode Puddletown, Wareham and Swindley. He’s also done QECP.
Where else within an hour or so is there that’s worth a shout? Tia.
Okeford hill bike park, Purbecks, OffCambers XC race loop in Blandford.
This my Strava heat map and all on mtb.
Rogate, Tidworth and Windhill are all close to an hour away.
Thanks guys
Is it just bikepark / jumpy stuff you're after? There's lots of great xc stuff locally.
But see also Gore Heath, Canford Heath, Upton Heath all with some good trails and a few jumps etc.
Or Purbecks, Cranborne Chase, Wareham Forest, New Forest for xc (in decreasing order of hillyness)
Can’t beat the Purbecks
Shall pass all these suggestions on to him so he can check them out. Cheers.
Purbecks are fab.
B1ke Wind Hill is about an hour away depending on where in Bournemouth you are.
OffCambers XC race loop in Blandford
It's at a campsite called 'Inside Park'. The owners are happy for riders to use it but ask that you don't park onsite during the camping season.
There's a race there this Sunday so the trails are open for public riding but they are taking entries on the day.
Thanks for the suggestions, I’ve passed them on to him. We actually did a big XC Purbecks ride a few years ago, took the ferry across, had a cracking day out!
Shall certainly be going back there.
