well it depends where your coming from if you live in say bristol it is unless you go all the way around which would take AGES !

I'd like to know about the ones in bath too tbh. Ashton Court was terrible last time I went, nothing DH about it. Best thing to do is just go into a forest or woods and build your own :p

Anything decent for DH at Ashton Court? Heading up that way at the weekend and need somewhere decent, I know the main loop that goes around the outside, but thats somewhat boring.

Cheers.

Ashton Hill Woods is the best place I have found in Bristol. Go past Ashton Court, turn left down Beggars Bush Lane. Follow that road to the end, go straight over the traffic lights and the car park is on the left as you go round the first left hand corner.
There are 3 short DH tracks there (altho one hasn't been upkept and you can only ride the bottom section.
At the bottom there is a big DJ section with jumps for all abilities.
I go there pretty regularly - if you need a riding partner there give me a shout.

Not really that I know of. I live next door to UWE but tend to drive across town to Ashton Hill Woods. FoD isn't too far away and Rowberrow is also a short drive.

haz would you ever do a lift share? - don't have a car up here (1st year)
wouldnt mind putting petty money in and it'd be a chance to learn some locations....

been to FoD twice, great fun but again, no car!
