I've recently done llandegla , cannock chase and an uplift in Innerleithen so I'm not afraid to Travel.
I personally think llandegla is the best place I've been to but would like some info of any places you guys know of.

I think it's classed as mainly cross country really what we do.
The places we've done in Scotland are classed more as down hill I think. Lol

Try thetford forest, allways a good day out, some good places to ride in wales and scotland aswell but never ventured myself
I've done the lake district a couple of years ago which was good but i wish i did more research for places to ride before i left.
How was cannock btw been wanting to go for ages and its only down the road from my uni
