Reviews for Thetford Forest (High Lodge) Mountain Bike Trails

Summary:
Great fun - ride fast

Review:
This is a great fun ride, best done as fast as you dare. It will catch you out but this is part of the fun. One section gives you enough opportunity to get cocky before throwing you a curve ball and putting you on your backside. A good trail for new riders or average riders wanting to up their game. Whatever you do, do it quick!!

Summary:
Good in parts, nice warm up

Review:
Well, this is a decent ride for fitness and speed training with some great twisty close in single track through the trees joined by firetracks and drawn out flat stuff. Myself and a friend use this as a warm up for the black run. However, this has the best bombhole on the park in the Squirrel Scamper. This has steep sides and is great for good level bikers wanting to get a bit of air and good drops.
Overall do it, if only to make your own mind up and also do the bombhole.

Summary:
Good fun for East Anglia

Review:
There isn't a great deal of choice in East Anglia, so this is pretty much it.

The Red Trail is good fun and unlikely to be a challenge to anyone. Those with a phobia of hills should have nothing to fear here.

The trail group 'TIMBER' have a tough time getting things approved by the FC, but they making it better. Slowly but surely.

The main problem I have found everytime I have been is that there is always some numpty riding the wrong way round the trails. With very little sight round some of the wooded areas, you dont see them until it's too late.

Summary:
the beast till last?

Review:
the beast is byfar the best part of the black run when attacked hard and fast, but is way to short!come on thetford spend some time on the black run as most of it is just crap joining bits to the 3-4 good single track parts that thetford is famous for.

Summary:
Great for beginners

Review:
I went to Thetford Forest on a course and spent the day on the red route which was fun but a bit slow in places. The Beast, however, really gets the heart going, more from the fear of going headlong into a tree than from the physical exertion. Finished with a big grin on my face! This was my first taste of mountain biking and left me wanting more!
