Is Bedgebury suitable for beginners ?

db3266

I'm looking for somewhere to take my new bike (Specialised Enduro Comp). I'm in Essex, Danbury is local to me, but not sure if it's for beginners?
What about Bedgebury, looks great for a family day out, but what about the trails, I'm a compete novice, are they suitable for beginners?

Thanks

I can't say anything about Danbury, but as a newbie myself, I can assure you that Bedgebury is not overly-challenging. I would think most singletrack in the UK would be easy enough to ride, the challenge comes in riding them well!
Enjoy.

Thanks mate.

If you want to know about Danbury go here http://www.essexhertsmtb.co.uk

You could also try Thorndon plenty of trails to get you going.

Remember if a trail becomes too much get off and walk, but have a try.

Thanks Robert, I also see there is a place in Hadleigh, the Olympic venue?

Yes, very suitable. The singletrack route is really a blue run but if you're a total novice/a bit apprehensive there's also a couple of family trails which are fire roads that kids of any age can ride on, never mind adults.

Yes... It's a really good trail suitable for a range of abilities. So while graded Red, I was happy to take my 12 year old round as there's nothing too hard if you ride carefully. But it's also fun and rewarding when you want to carry more speed - so I'm looking forward to going back there.
