Course description: | Friston Forest is mainly a beech forest, with some areas of pine and natural woodland. Runnability is generally quite good, although brambles are present in some areas. There is a clear ride & track network, with some smaller "mountain bikers" paths. The area is undulating, with a few steep slopes on the blue course. |
