Forest is all bone dry and looks like it's staying that way over the whole weekend
Loads of options on the route, you can do as much or as little as you want and there's a nice tea stop right in the middle of the forest
First bit is always the worst as you need to climb to the top of the forest but once your up there you can stay on top or take in the riggs and dales
Cafe in the Visitor Centre does an excellent breakfast and will be open from 9am, if people don't have time to get down to Pickering
I'll aim to be in the Visitor Centre Cafe in Low Dalby from 9.30am onwards, its the big building at the end of the Car Park, don't forget it's £7 per car to get into the forest so makes sense to "car share" if it's an option.
There us very little phone signal in the forest so if you need to let people know if your late don't expect anything after Thornton le Dale/Pickering.
Purple Mountain in the forest is good for basic spares if you forget anything and I can probably loan a couple of helmets if need be, that ground is bl**dy hard at the moment
See you all Sunday
