Breeze off road through Swinley Forest to The Look Out

A challenging but fun off road cycle, (only 13 miles), starting off from Wellington College car park, (pool side). The route is almost entirely traffic free, using forest trails and wooded pathways. I have described the route as challenging as the trails are fairly rough in places with tree roots and bumps. However well worth the effort as we are well away from traffic and out in the countryside. The route takes us out the back of Crowthorne, down to Scotland Hill, Broadmoor Hospital and then down into Swinley Forest. Much of the route is flat although there are 2 significant hills! We can always dismount if too difficult:) We are rewarded with a coffee and cake stop at the Look Out. We return by making a circular route along Bracknell cycle paths, past South Hill Park, Downshire Golf Club, RedLake Road and Honey Hill Lane. The return route does take us on a couple of roads but nothing too busy.

As always bring along a waterproof and a spare inner tube for your bike. Hoping for no punctures but best to be prepared!
