All the info about the setup at Thrunton has been on the trailbuilders website for years along with contact details to find out more if anyone was in doubt. Also amazing how many rumours and mis-quotes float around e.g. ‘they are ripping out Pink Panther’ which is not the case. You will find the trail builders a cracking bunch, happy to show anyone around and a group that have put in a lot of time and effort behind the scenes building and maintaining a strong relationship with the FC and Landowner. They have also worked hard to engage with other local riding groups and it looks like there has been some great input recently from CHR and others as a result, happy days.
From the website:
‘We have a signed agreement with the FC for building and maintaining the trails in Thrunton Woods, and develop them with the objective of keeping them as natural as possible.
We are totally self funded as a group, with some help from the Forestry Commission for materials and tools. The types of trails tend to be towards the technical cross country style.
The group is very low key, we keep bureaucracy to a minimum and build trails that we enjoy to ride.’
