Just moved back to Devon and bought a YT Decoy, it’s been 18 years since I last lived here and looking for recommendations on where to ride, I know Haldon pretty well and have explored Dartmoor extensively but wondered where else people would recommend

Not ridden up there in years. I think the last time I rode in the Quantocks the Andersons still had their dad running an uplift at weekends !

Hi Zero Cool

Places in Devon

Woodbury Common
Haldon Hills
Canonteign
In and around lusty cleve/ Hounds Tor
Cann Woods / Spanish side
Burrator

Dont ride much in the north so can say about up there.

There is a Group on facebook called (Devon mtb Club) That is fairly active also (North Devon MTB) and (EMTB devon).

Ooh, I’d totally forgotten about Cann Woods, is there much there anymore?

Gawton Gravity Hub near Tavistock if you want some gnar. Also you could pop to Grogley/Bishops/Hustyns just over the border in Cornwall.
Is Chipshop woods still over by Tavistock or has that gone? I think it was taken over by Gawton at some point.

Probably up my street now I’m old, I remember totally wiping out on one of the big(ish) gap jumps there.
Where’s the best place to park nowadays?
