Start/Finish Queen Elizabeth Country Park, SU719185 Total distance 7km (4.4 miles) Total ascent 232m (761 feet) Total time 0.5-1 hour Summary Fun, fast loop that mixes fresh purpose-built singletrack with some older sections for a more varied feel than some trails 1. The Red trail is fully waymarked, but here are the directions for completeness. Start at Queen Elizabeth Country Park visitor centre. From the car park, facing the front of the visitor centre, go left through the gap in the fence and turn right along the level trail skirting the edge of the woods. 2. After 300m turn left onto singletrack, following a switchback climb before joining forest road. Continue to climb on forest road for a few hundred metres before picking up next section of singletrack dropping down and doubling back to the left. 3. A singletrack loop descends then climbs to rejoin forest road briefly. Next singletrack section goes right, climbing steadily (with a couple of short steep sections) to crossing with forest road. Cross over to join next section of singletrack that descends for 1.3km on feature-laden trail with some steep sections. 4. Cross over road and attack the short, very steep climb before swinging right onto mellower gradient. After 350m bear right onto final descent, initially swooping with large berms and some jumps further down. 5. At car park go straight over the road, through gap in fence and follow easy trail back to visitor centre. Not enough for you? Just go around again...by wmbsu
