Inspired by MTGs idea about people meeting up and showing each other around the riding thats to be had in their local area (not that I know of enough "good riding" where I am) just wondering where everyone is from?

I'm from Northampton (well just north of it..), and go to uni in Nottingham.

Somerset (Mendips)

"people meeting up and showing each other around the riding"

Indeed. Done this a few times, and it's fun.

Hmmmm.

Where do you live is the more accurate question 😛 Didn't occur to me as the the 2 places are the same for me!

I used to live in Northampton. I think we used to mostly play in Badby Woods and Harlstone Firs. I always thoughts there were lots of bridle ways out towards Daventry and towards Spratton but nothing really interesting.

You would give up the delights of Beautiful Bradford, such as the Alhambra and the famous cinematic location of Buttershaw, for some boring place in France? 😕
