 Bedgebury's dedicated Singletrack MTB trail follows 14km of exhilarating riding around the 2000 acre Bedgebury Forest, and is designed for mountain bikers who enjoy all the challenges that the sport offers, including challenging climbs, tricky decents, berms, drop-offs and large rocks.  You can also detour round many obstacles if you like :)

Joining point 1 - meet on the train.  Depart London on 8.15 am from Charing X, 8.17am from Waterloo East, 8.22am from London Bridge or intermediate stations en route to Stonegate (arrive 09.26).  No bike reservations required.  Usually only a couple of spaces per train so if they are full, bike will have to be in the vestibule.

Joining point 2 - meet at Stonegate station 09.30.  We will then cycle on road 10km through hilly lovely countryside to the forest.  9km is quiet and lovely.  The last 1km is on a busy A road and unavoidable.  There is a very hazardous junction leaving the A road and you will be advised to get off and cross on foot.  

Joining point 3 - meet at Bedgebury Forest Pinetum car park 10.30.  Please note if you drive there is a £10-12 charge for your car.  You can hire bikes and there is a bike shop selling a small range of items.

We will have c.3-4 hours in the forest which is enough time for at least one lap, possibly two, or else a wander in the woods or just relaxing in the beauty of the forest.

We will cycle back to a different station - Wadhurst, slightly longer at 14km, but one stop closer to London with pub options and more frequent trains, every half hour or so.
