I’ve got 2 or 3 hours to kill at Bedgebury tomorrow. Normally takes me about an hour to do the Red route. Anyone got any suggestions to extend it by an hour or so? Ideally a bit of ‘open space’ with views riding to counter the twisty Singletrack fun under the trees.

This is no use to you at all, but before I moved away 12 years ago I could put together a route round Bedgebury which was around 60km and included a disused railway tunnel. 

There certainly used to be a huge number of rarely used trails which were really good fun. 

I suspect a lot of the knowledge disappeared when I moved as everyone just wants to stick to the way marked scalextric track.

Do you have the route for others to see? I'd be up for that. 

For the OP, If I go to Bedgebury I usually do at least 3 laps to make it worth while. Or ride out from home which is about 25 mins away and ride through Bedgebury to Bewl, do a lap of Bewl and head back home via Bedgebury. Takes about 3 hours.
