Wooden Boardwalk

Highlight • Structure

Been rebuilt - likely lethal when wet so beware. Also - Be prepared for MTB confrontation on this route. 50/50 on who's right and wrong ref. access. Just keep a cool head. A lot of the anti-cycling signage cannot be legal, But a certain demographic has it in for anything on two wheels. I think the issues are exacerbated because of a plague of illegal electric motoX type bikes invading the area.

Joydens Wood singletrack trails

Highlight • Forest

Great place to ride single tracks of all levels you can spend most of the day there and only bump into a few other humans. Excellent place to escape to. So take lots of snacks and drink.
