Tips from the Community
The Flying Daggers trail at Friston Forest is a blue graded downhill section of twisty singletrack. It's brilliant fun ridden superfast or excellent at a more gentle pace with the family. Rolling, twisty and downhill but never overly difficult.

30 April 23: although there’s been extensive forestry activity behind it, Moby Dick has survived. Just watch out for the logs at the bottom.👍🏻

Friston MTB trail, can't find the name for this one, feel free to suggest. Any way half way down Dave Nose Best you will find the trail splits, see picture attached to this highlight to help locate. Straight on/right takes you further alone Dave Nose Best to Morticia/crater and other fun - or if you want a change go left and and find a short cut back to cardiac/fire track with a short but fun trail with small jumps - can be combined with joining Tron/Crater Run side.

Friston Forest MTB Trails - Chalk Mound Fun descent from the top of this mound, not so easy to get to the top but worth it! Exact location and more details- Source sxmtbmaps "This a large horse shoe shaped chalk mound found at the end of the Fairy Trail just before you cross Cardiac . Climb up onto Moby Dick from the north and follow one of the ridges to the apex and highest point. From here you can drop down to Cardiac, go straight across to pick up 'Rattle and Hum' and continue to the 'Candy Canes', or stop for a breather while the others catchup, or better still nip back around and have another go."
