Any tips for someone new to the area?

I rode Puddletown back in early 90s but then moved away.
I'm back and have been working like an animal!

Got day off tomorrow and a little time to spare. Can anyone suggest best place to park and quickest way to find trails please?

I'm a gravity boy so the more DH the better!
Thanks!

I've only ridden there a few times - the last time I went I took a screenshot of the Strava trails and combined with a live satellite map managed find enough good runs to keep me entertained. Glad to see there's a Facebook group, have signed up!

Watch out for doggers.

It's unnerving when you have packed up your bike and decide to nip into the bushes for a pee before the drive back, and you hear a car door slam and realise the portly middle aged gentleman in the Mercedes that is parked in the layby is now heading your way.

Found some jump runs. Great fun!

The doggers comment might explain the taxi driver who was hanging around!

Reevil, are you living back there now? My in-laws have just bought a house nearby so I'm intending to get to know Puddletown better, would be good to meet some local riders.

Ride there at least twice a week.
Here's a small selection of the trails
Anyone want a guided tour one evening or weekend give me a shout.
