Staple Hill Car Park

***TRIGGER WARNING***
Contains adult based information.
Car park is free to use, and not locked of an evening.
I got here late in the evening, and I stayed in the back of 4x4. Set up bed and settled in for the night. closing the blinds, also have blacked out windows. Unbeknownst to me, as i'm not local to this area, it is a hotspot for ... Dogging. A lot of activity through out the night with vehicles coming and going. But I ignored it, watched a bit of deadliest catch and fell asleep. 7 hours later, car park empty apart from yours truly, and my venture out began.

After heading uphill (north to south) it's largely big stones which are heavily bedded into the ground, with some loose gravel, dirt etc. At the top here, it's a short stretch before finding more compact gravel. A bit bumpy in places, but nothing too technical.

You can’t go wrong for nice MTB tracks up here. Amazing views. Mostly stoney tracks so can be ridden in all weather. And part of the Herepath Loop
