Literally 5 mins from my front door ( by car) ..it entails a horrendous road climb otherwise..which depending on time I do or do not do ... But within 15 mins of riding you can be on trails which no other human has been on for years ..such is the vastness of Kielder Forest. This area is in the South East corner of the forest ..the mountain bike trails are 18 miles to the Notth Watsons Walls ..a pretty quiet place to live ! It really doesn't get more remote ... A cracking little couple of hours riding ..and as you might expect ..I didn't see a soul ..

Looks like you had to make your own trails!

Pez... Underneath all the shrubbery & overgrowness..is a real firm track ..once a doubletrack for forestry vehicles ..it's not been used for years ..but there are loads of tracks like these in the forest...all mapped of course and will probably be used again once the surrounding trees are ready for harvesting..but in their present condition it does make things interesting ..I had to give up on one section after I went to periscope depth in the third unseen " puddle " Fun though ..but if I live to ride until I'm a hundred I will not unearth half of what's out there untouched ...
