After speaking with Rod Fountain of the SE Raggers mountain bike posse about local places to ride he pointed me towards a place called 'Bumming Woods', however didn't give me much else to go on.
Turns out that 'Bumming Woods' is the very very very apt nickname given to Beaulieu Heights near Crystal Palace where the second transmission mast sits. And, it's quite a notorious gay cruising area, hence the nickname.
Now the lads from SE Raggers have done a bit of work up there building berms, jumps and some small 'North Shore' bits, could still do with a bit of repairing, cutting back and raking mind you. I couldn't get into the 'flow' of the place very well, what with being a newbie, but it shows great potential. The bonus is that the locals steer clear cos of the 'goings on' in the darker corners as t'were and thus there's no dog shit on the tracks, excellent!
Will be going back as although it's only a small place, there's not much else to be ridden in the evenings.
And you can stop that sniggering this instant!
