Bloodonthetracks

Hi,Recently moved to Epping area and finding Epping Forest cycling trails (and roads - will be advertising my hardly touched - 50 miles in 7 months - Kona zone 2014 when I've hit the post limit) to be a bit boring - mainly because I'm used to DH and FR and there's no flow or challenge in the routes I've found. Anyone in the area got ideas of trails that I might be missing or can recommend good hardtail freeride or good single track round here? Other than chicksands.
