Your thoughts please.
I will nominate the track between Sheep Walk and Ebbisham Lane that leads onto Epsom Downs.
It was better pre sanitisation but it's eroding nicely now.
Edit, yes I know it's like choosing the best cricket team in France.
Ok then, the left off-road path from the top of ,Greenwich Park near the western end of the wall down to the gate near the pub. It's about 12seconds of full chat, grim butt clenching awesomeness the like you've never ever ridden, Eva.
Steps down either Woolwich of Greenwich tunnel
Look east! Al fayeds descent is similarly growing back in after a resurfacing if you're looking for a bridleway, but there's at least two trails of varying degrees of cheekiness on the same bit of hill in Woldingham that I would stand against the Epsom one.
Then there's some really quite good little trails up towards selsdon although you struggle to get the length of those further west
Not sure about the m25 but [url= http://app.strava.com/segments/2288860 — Frith Wood DH]this[/url] is my favourite local downhill.
Edit. Url fail. I give up...
Swanny, tell me more... My parents back on to littleheath woods so I've razzed round there. Never ridden anything of note thiugh
Care to share more Swanny. I'm pretty local too!
I'm local too! My link was to the woods near there. Pops you out on featherbed lane, gravel Hill side of the scout camp.
Should organise an STW ride...
I think I know the one you mean dknwhy. Starts off at the back of the golf course? Great fun!
STW ride sounds good
Also local. Just went down the golf course one last week, also the little bit at the end of Jewels wood is fun.
Yep that's the one. Tree down at the minute though.
I don't know Jewels Wood aether531. Will have to go take a look.
I ride over near Woldingham a fair bit - there's a trail off of Gangers Hill down towards the M25 which is great fun!
gringo - it's on the corner of Skidhill Lane and Sheepbarn Lane. The little bit down to the girls school in Woldingham can be fun, but got to watch out for horses.
As an ex Caterham on t'hill resident I can confirm there's plenty of cheeky ST dh routes in and around the Caterham/Coulsdon area. One especially nice fast wee run down to the M23. Another vote for the Woldingham area by the school.
Right, I'd forgotten about this!
Someone mentioned Gangers to M25- that's Al Fayeds, although it's still not back to former glories after resurfacing. The friday bridleway that joins it halfway down is alright if you like a plummet.
Down to the Convent school- stuff to explore in both directions, but when it's quiet. There's a couple of other drops off the ridge more over towards Godstone that are varying degrees of interesting, if sadly short.
The featherbed lane/frith wood descent is fun as a blast, which side are you coming in from at the top, right or left? (i.e. farleigh or selsdon). There's a bit more to the NE of there that I'm not as familiar with if you're prepared to look, but it'll take a bit of work to string a nice loop out of it. There is one if you're prepared to work at it though.
I wouldn't know about riding anything other than the bridleway through littleheath woods......
2nd Al Fayed - way better than the OP's Epsom route - especially if you "get lost" and accidentally use the footpath at the top.
I must get over Woldingham way again. How is the big downhill at Botley Hill these days? I've not ridden it for at least 15 years when they covered it in pebbles.Think it's called Pitchfont Lane.
GROUP RIDE! 😀
Muddy will have to make a commemorative the shirt!
