£1.3 MILLION PROJECT UNDERWAY
We are delighted to announce the start of a major project to enhance the
visitor and recreation facilities at Haldon Forest. This initiative is
part funded by Sport England and The Big Lottery through their "Active
England" programme and work will begin in April. Once completed, the 12
month long project will provide a range of new facilities including:

* a new, secure car park at Bullers Hill
* toilets and a shower facility at a new "Haldon Gateway" hub
* all-ability walking trails with viewpoints, art and play
installations
* an off-road family cycling loop along the top of the ridge
* a dedicated equestrian area with parking for horse boxes and
trailers
* *purpose built single-track mountain bike trails* (emphasis
mine)

Yay... :)

Yay indead. Will be interesting to see all that lot come on line in the
next few years. I can see haldon Hill from my sofa.

Today we went the other way and did a 6 mile muni loop at Woodbuy
common ( I can see there from the sofa to) . I wasn't quite as bad as I
was the other weekend, once I'd got going I quite enjoyed my self.

The place already has lots of good riding, even without officially
maintained trails. I'm sure us locals can be persuaded to go for a ride
without too much difficulty... :)

Next time I'm down & able to wangle some time, I'll definitely be in
touch (that goes for Sarah & Paul too!)
