looks like the FC have done the biannual bulldozing, all the singletrack & jumps have been flattened

    I take it your talking about Lordswood Southampton.

    I have only recently starting exploring the place. Really surprised at the amount of jumps still there including some limited 'North shore'.

    What has gone?

    I think 'Workmans' had 3 downhill runs with jumps and rollers.

    Real shame if it has all gone. There was another run from top of the hill with a series of around 4 jumps getting bigger as you go. I hope that is still there was I wanted to practice on the smaller jumps to gain some confidence.

    Yup, just north of soton.

    The main jump area near the top of the three decent runs has gone. The FC were camped out near there with several JCBs. I presume they will simply drive down the runs flattening everything. The run in from near the motorway bridge is still there, not sure for how long though. No idea on the jump area near utopia & the kennels, but I wouldn't expect that to last.

    The FC don't own the land so the policy of flattening things isn't theirs, unfortunately the landowners don't want the legal hassles that go with this stuff being there.

    Shame, but, the site was getting quite big and obvious.
