Sherwood Pines? Any good?

RyanWilson

So my dad said he'll load our bikes in his van and take us here for some action...what i want to know is if its any good? if not... whats better thats near to it?

I live in Huddersfield so anything more than about an hour and a half drive away is too far.

Thanks

If you want trail centres then Dalby(Pickering) Gisburn(Y.Dales) or Sherwood Pines.
If you want natural ie not waymarked go to the Peak District.

I personally don't like Sherwood Pines,Dalby is marginally better and Gisburn is the best of the bunch,if you like that sort of riding.

Holmfirth area has some good riding areas. Do you not have an OS map? Once you get out of the built up areas there appears to be a vast network of routes. A lot of the routes marked as footpaths around that area used to be old cart/carriage routes ;-)

Whinston lee tor/The beast/blackley hey/nabs wood(or suicide brakes),to name a few.

Sherwood is a brilliant first trip to an easy red route.

By virtue of our inital post - is your dad taking the family? if so the pines is great.

if you are a seasoned pro, you MAY be a little dissapointed if you chose this over the likes of Dalby / Cannock etc etc. I live near and love the red route.
