Inspire me!
Hamsterley ,the new stuff on the red trail is incredible .
Rode it for the second time ,first time 10 yrs ago and swore id never return as it was dull.went last week to ride the newly opened stuff and was blown away .
I'm going to Reeth, North Yorkshire on Saturday for my birthday bike ride. You are welcome to join me. But I am not camping.
Edit: weather doesn't look nice Saturday night either
Lakes, always the lakes, no where comes close in England
Actually how about Hebden bridge? Drive won't be as long

And camp at The New Delight.
Beers in there or wander down to The Beer Festival in the Town Hall
Have you ever been to Swindon?
Ride Coed y Brenin
It's the Coed Y Brening Enduro this weekend - some trails probably closed, and it will be heaving.
Come and ride Walna Scar with me and Moz 😉
Thetford. It will contrast nicely with your normal riding. 😉
Edit. I'm just jealous of your choice. I'd pick one with a shortish drive or that's weatherproof because I think the weather is supposed to be bobbins on Sunday for some of the UK.
Forest of Dean. Camp at Whitemead forest park in Park End. Eat at the Fountain.
Done heb loads. Erring towards church stretton at the mo
Wales, so you can post a topical #trailsforwales instabanger.
Rode Hebden on Wednesday night. The trails are holding up well enough and not suffering too much from the rain BUT... The foliage is still a bit dense and the Summer's carpet of green slime is still coating much of the rocky stuff. Needs a month or so and a good scouring before it's back to form.
Saturday will be Lakes for me. Maybe some exploratory stuff around Bowfell if the visibility is Good, otherwise probably a standard loop like Rossett, Grains Gill, Stake Pass.
Camp Coniston Old Hall and ride Weatherlam down the Lad Stones ridge, Hole Rake to Tilberthwaite, Holme Fell, Yewdale tarn. Much Ale in Coniston's FINE hostelries.
Great Views, Great Riding, Great ALE.
Looking like Dentdale (Cumbria ) for me ..just awaiting confirmation from my buddies that they will be joining me ..
Cracking ride most but not all height gain ( 4000ft+) on tarmac and the descents on rocky / tech stuff ..did it a couple of months back when it was pissing down ..hoping for better tomorrow !
Useful Hebden update thanks Ian, might hold off visiting for a while then.
Hard to beat bike park Wales for me personally.
Although I've never been riding in north Wales or the peaks or the lakes or anywhere north of Flyup 417 in Cheltenham pretty much (unless you count a quick ride in Sheffield at lady Cannings plantation).
