グリニッジ王立区のバイクパーク・トップ9

A little way along ‘the big ditch’ in Oxleas Wood are a number of jumps dug into the earth which build toward a final larger jump on the far end of the ditch providing decent air if you approach fast enough into the ditch. There is a circular track with mud ‘walls’ to run off the speed which takes you directly back into the ditch slope. The turning into this track is marked by a painted tree to the edge and near the end of the fasted down hill track from the field at the top of woods; careful at crossroads if you bomb the hill from the top as there are often walkers using the trails.

There are no jumps.

At the top side of Hazelwood Fields is an area of recently felled trees with a path running along to its side - wood mulch and logs lining the way. Part of the Oxleas ‘wild paths’ system, this gnarly trail continues down a hill, winding through woods, past the ruins of a building and up to an exit in the Memorial Hospital car park; a sign at the back corner leading the way back to Hazelwood Fields. It’s a great MTB circuit, it even has jumps built into the dirt track in places - careful going too fast as otherwise you might end up in the ruins of the building which are deep and directly at the bottom of the hill. - but currently it’s a great MTB circuit if you’re exploring the tracks around the Woods then this should be on the list of places to ride.

Parallel to the path running adjacent to the golf course side edge of the back field of Eltham Park South, is a long skinny dirt trail. Useful for when the path is busy with joggers and dog walkers - although both sometimes use the trail. Can get muddy in winter months.

This looks great : )

Of most interest here is a long fast downhill dirt track that runs the length of the hilly meadow. Several tracks criss cross the field but most overgrown. The river Quaggy cuts across which is bridged over. A couple of entrances are accessible via Sidcup Road both which are blocked with tree trunks and concrete blocks to deter motorbikes- not ideal. Best way in is through Harmony Wood, an entrance immediately to the right as you exit the railways footbridge from Middle Park.

Park on Shooters Hill Rd. Home to the Charlton Lido sports centre, tennis courts, scenic gardens and a cheeky little BMX circuit. Backs onto Woolwich Common.

Other than fast downhill jumps dug into the trails running down from Castle Woods car park to Eltham Common; the ‘other’ mtb adapted trail is at the other side of the woods; to the left of the cafe in Oxleas Meadow. Follow the path, past the gym equipment, to a field; follow the path. Take the first left past the bench. The trail is a tight technical single track that will eventually take you to the edge of the park; the top bit is the best.
