haydon_peter Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Love it Craig!Craig doesn't need to go to Chicksands, his local trails are The Quantocks!I went to the Quantocks for the first time last weekend on the XC rig, I will definitely be going back there again, there is so much to explore!!!Quantocks is on par with Wales, it has to be among the top 10 best places to Mountain Bike in England!
