Just wondering if there are any waymarked routes around Wareham Forest ?

Gonna be working down in Dorset for a couple of weeks and fancied getting out and about in the decent weather we are having !

Not being Local and having only limited time in the eves i,d ideally like to be able to just blast round somewhere waymarked rather than spend a week i havent got stringing together a route !
If that makes sense ?

Cheers............

    Ah !

    What is classed as cheeky stuff ?
    N Shore, Drop Offs, Gap Jumps etc ?

    noooo nothing that extreme (that i've found)

    but has since been pointed out that a lot of it is SSSI so really shouldn't be there... so i obviously don't condone riding in THOSE areas, but there are a number of trails that can be used including the one that we used for our clubs enduro event last weekend.

    So its just a matter of turning up and following ur nose then ?

    There seems to be a lot of mention about a ridge ride in the Weymouth area to Hardy's Monument ?

    Is this worth a pedal ?

    The ridge ride to Hardys monument is great for fantastic views etc, would make for a good evening ride, and you can drop down to Chesil beach too.
