I am fairly local. Have done a few rides in the forest which were ok, obviously the cheeky bits were the best. I’ve done a bit of running around the forest in various enclosures like Godshill, some nice riding potential there.
TBH, the unwelcoming attitude mystified me. The place is designated a national park; an area specifically for outdoor leisure activities.To be slightly blunt, WTF is wrong with these people? No matter, my leisure time is spent visiting other areas where they aren’t asshats.
