Afternoon

Has anyone done the xc or freeride routes at Chicksands?

Quite fancy a day trip for me and the lads, fair old poke from home but is it worth a 6 hour round trip?

I ride the South Downs Way and the odd long weekend in Coed Y Brenin, guess I looking for some middle ground!

Cheers,

Geoff

    If you like DJ's and 4X it's worth the trip, don't bother for XC.

    XC routes have been cut up for ages now and a lot of the signs are missing. The focus there is more on DJs / 4X racing so if thats your thing its worth it.
    If you come over this way, you could combine the trip with a visit to Woburn for XC (and more DJs plus a pump track). That would make it worth a 6 hour round trip

    Ok guys, thanks for the advice.
    XC and light freeride is more my bag so I will save the petrol money. nonnac85, thanks for the link, I'll take a look.

    Cheers again,

    Road the XC a few years ago.
    Not worth the long drive.

    As stated above good Jumps and shortish DH tracks etc.

    I am sure there are better XC routes after a long drive.

    Did a XC Race here ,was fun in Race mode but easy non technical course.
    Has lots of potential but I think the Jumps is the attraction.
