Hiya,

Do you know I think I recognised the first couple of minutes of that.

We used to go greenlaning quite a lot up at Hindhead, across the A3 and round the side of the Devil's Punchbowl and I reckon a couple of the trails were the same as the ones we used.

Clearly worth a visit this spring then :)

*Sigh* sunny dry days :)

The first bit looks like the run down from Gibbet Hill somewhere round here clicky

The rest looks sort of in that area. Its a good amount of vertical descent there. Good riding around that way. The track down the back of the punchbowl is particularly memorable :) From Here to the river crossing here and back up again the far side. :)

Is greenlaning a legal thing?

@Bill,

Greenlaning was where we rode road-legal dirtbikes on Byways (Green Arrow) and Unclassified trails.

Some time back a lot of the Byways in West Sussex were reclassified as 'Restricted Byways' (Purple Arrow) - open to everything bar motorised vehicles.

So, its legal in some places but that doesnt stop a lot of dirtbikers from riding where they want...

Punchbowl is a great playground to go mountain biking in, trails litter both sides of the A3. I used to ride it reguarly when I was at Pompey uni.

@Sugarhigh,

Agreed, im going to have a nose up there during the week.

From what I can remember its quite sandy so should drain well.

@ Frewheeler

many thanks for your kind offer, front mech is ok now
, It was made in the lowest pit of hell and takes hours to set up so nothing rubs ,

in fact I think that it is a design fault with the bike, the bike is very prone to to chain suck ( denied by Gary Fisher ) most reviews will say thi, and I think the chain line was wrong hence they discontinued the range
