Hi guys,

I am thinking of going to Aston Hill this weekend. Is the £6 entrace fee worth a go?

If so which trails do you recommended a must ride?

    There's only on XC trail as such and it's short.

    Downhills are good, as is the 4x track.

    Watch out for low-flying gliders!

    So do you think it is worth to go for £6?

    Or you think I should go other trails?

    What low-flying gliders? Is it a joke or real flying gliders around?

    yes its worth 6pounds, DH is better than the XC but i can ride it all on a trail bike. plenty to do in a day.

    There is no entrance fee, there's a parking fee.

    "It costs £6 per person per day to ride at Aston Hill"

    Same as Rogate, Tilgate and soon Stoughton DH.

    OK, Whenever I've been a lady walks up and asks for £6. Never charged for anyone else in the car so I figured it was for parking.

    Great I will give it a visit this weekend. Can't decide Swinley or Aston Hill or even Epping. I am leaning towards Aston for the DH.
    If you buy online it is £6
    if you buy at the site then it is £7.
    Cooldad even Swinley forest you have to pay. Supposedly.
