A heads up.
If you're intending to drive to Sherwood Pines this weekend, please note that the car parks will be managed by stewards from Friday lunchtime as part of the Forest Live concerts 21st - 23rd June. This means you will be guided to a space rather than have the option to chose where you...
From what I remember one of the guys who was involved with Keilder Reivers is now the ranger there. For what it's worth I no longer offer volunteer days or dig days for groups, the time taken to register people, log their hours, put together a job plan, do the risk assessment, write it up, means...
;);)
It worth saying though in defence of emtb/mtbrs and car parking revenue. FE, FLS and Natural Resources Wales will need at some point to look at their income streams in relation to funding or how investment in infrastructure like trails, car parks and facilities etc is structured. Being...
Steve, our relationship hasn't been affected in any way, I always enjoy our trailside chats. For the record, since 2022 I've been the Manager of Sherwood Pines, which is basically chief drain digger, berm builder, plate spinner, concert promoter, play installer and budget holder. (your continued...

It was on the back of the car. The bike hasn't been used since in a attempt to dry things out, I must confess I never considered the remote needed drying out too.
Apologies this has probably been already answered amongst the 24 other pages of owner issues.
Last week after transporting my Levo in monsoon conditions, the battery displayed red lights on a full charge and failed to provide power to the motor. Disconnecting it and removing it from the frame...
I imagine it will be more expensive. It depends on what you consider to be ridiculous and whether or not you want the trails maintained, toilets cleaned, staff paid etc. The idea is that it makes it easier for customers to visit more sites at less cost than buying more than one pass which is...
Yep, it’s great value no matter which way you look at it. I think it’s relatively cheap if you pay to park, if the day rate is £6 per car and a family of 4 turn up it’s £1.50 each to spend the day walking, riding or playing.
The Forestry Commission or Forestry England as its now known IS developing a national pass, or membership it has been a long held desire to go this way, but with each Forest Centre, satellite woodlands all having their own budgets it’s not as straightforward as people might think. Hopefully, the...
