For the Trials
riding there are 20 acres of private woodland in which to
practice, along the bottom of the woods are three gullies,
all going into the stream.
John's gulley at the eastern end of the woods, a lovely long
twisting climb on shale and slabs.
Brenda's gulley in the middle of the woods, steeper and deeper
but shorter with different exits on the way up.
The third gulley at the western end of the woods is Martyn's
gulley, lower and upper, consisting
of slabs and rocks, it is very steep and testing and
is used in the National we hold here in May. .

We have been
here for some 15 years, and have gradually cut out and made
sections to satisfy all capabilities. Just
100 metres from Bikers Rest
self catering cottage is half an acre of man made sections
consisting of climbs and imported rocks and banks, plenty
for everybody from the young to the not so young to enjoy.
We hold a centre championship here and also trials school
in the summer so the sections are well used. We
welcome young children as well as the older experienced trials
riders.

In
the woods plenty of tracks have been made and makes a good
woodland walk with plenty of bluebells and primrose in season,
they both look like blue and yellow carpets when they are
out in flower. The holly is plentiful at Christmas as well.
When you are in the woods it is like another world down there
very calm and peaceful with the birds twitching away and the
odd deer around. There are plenty of banks and climbs also
there.
The
local pub is less than two miles away.
