Start from Maiden Castle. Loads of BWs towards Hardy's Monument and Abbotsbury. Then head north, over the A35 and explore around Compton Valence.

Loads of stuff out there and its all drying out a treat.

Puddletown was really good but the tree felling and washed out trails have taken the edge off it IMO 😕

Coo. Sounds interesting. I'm not from the area but i have family that are regularly visited in the summer in Ringstead Bay. Would love the chance to meet up with someone with local knowledge for some rides later this year. 😀
Sort of agree about Puddletown Forest, but the cleared area at the top has revealed some terrific views!
