This mountain biking guidebook is the first one dedicated to the North Downs - the MTB playground of the south east of England, easily accessible from London and packed with hundreds of kilometres of excellent trails through two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty - the Surrey Hills and the Kent Downs - from Farnham to Dover. With detailed descriptions of 20 day routes, graded for distance, difficulty and the percentage of off-road action, and also of the 59km Downs Link between the North Downs Way and the South Downs Way, this guide has all bikers need to make the most of their days out. All routes are illustrated by OS map extracts and height profiles and suitable for mountain bikers with some experience and fitness. Also included is information on the gear you will need, how to prepare and how to keep safe on the trail and listings of local bike shops and places to stay if you're making a weekend of it.
