Hanchurch Woods is near the playground of Martyn Brookes and with his expertise and the permission of the Estate owner Lord Stafford, put together a memorable course that had tongues wagging right from the start with tales of epic drops, wicked twists and turns, knee creaking climbs and more singletrack than than you could ever wish for all crammed in to a compact and bijou 7km course. In keeping with the ‘old skool' feel of the course with it's loose, dry dusty trails, bermtastic, sweeping corners and skill testing technical section, the organisers liberally sprinkled the course with reminders of the ‘good ole days' stapled inspirationally to the trees!
