EDIT May 2023:

The logging activity has now concluded and the trail has become useable. There are tons of small branches/debris littering the trail and a lot of damage to the surface and the route. Some of the bogs have been filled with bark chippings but there are some left still. The trail no longer flows and it's hard to read. Such a shame. At least it no longer forces you to walk.

-----------------------------------

This trail has been rendered un-ridable by devastating logging activity. I was able to carry my bike through with difficulty, but it is now a bog and the logs and debris on the ground make it impossible to ride. Please DO NOT ride on the parallel Andover Road, it is extremely dangerous. Just find a way through the bog on foot. No idea when or if it will be repaired. So so sad for the area.

This trail is one I have been riding most weeks since 1997, like all natural trails it evolves as trees fall or new puddles form.

Always lots of fun in the summer, can become hard work with mud in Jan/Feb, but usually passable.

The tree felling made it mostly impassable for 2022, and then passable with care in 2023. After plenty of work from locals it
became fully rideable again in the summer of 2024.

The jumps closer to Winchester were built by people with small wheel bikes, they are usable with larger wheels, but check the landings before using.
