Welcome man! You're not 'too' far from me, I'm up in Taunton, so right on the edge of the Quantocks, some amazing trails around there! Haldon Forest is fairly close as well, with some nice off piste stuff and the red run offering a good warm up for it. Gawton Gravity Hub and Tavi Woods are also VERY close, more DH orientated but 99% ride-able on your Enduro, my Knolly loves it.
If you're ever heading up to Haldon, give me a shout and I'll see if I can make my way down there.

Hi, welcome to the forum. I have a spesh enduro but it's the 2014 model so it still has 26 inch wheels. Great bike though.

Thank's for the great welcome guy's. Much appreciated.
Marsbarman- Hi mate. I've heard of some 'off-piste stuff at Haldon but never did find out where it was. But like u said the red run is still pretty good. I was looking at getting up there next month so will give u a shout. You must be spoilt for choice in Taunton, do u go to South Wales much?

I've found probably 20% of the off piste stuff. Quite a lot of it isn't near any of the main trails so you have to do a little bit of hunting. I was in South Wales loads last year (Cwmcarn, Afan (both sides), BPW), there's some awesome riding around there Afan and Cwmcarn are favourites for when you want to pedal uphill. BPW for just pure balls out down! Haven't been once this year though, work's taking up all my time sadly.

Welcome. I love my 27.5's. I spend a fair bit of time down Torquay in the summer but not taken my bike yet.
