Bernie:

I would like to hear the views of others about the Blue ridge route as I am sure I can't be the only one with this view.

I must say I am not normally negative but I found this particular trail pretty grim a lot of pain and not much gain, There are a lot of arduous climbs with very tight hairpin bends which are difficult to get round if you are not in the right gear.I don't pretend to be an expert rider but I do ride in Haldon Forest 5 days a week with my dogs and I would not give any of there trails a negative review. I must say the area as a whole is a nice place with plenty of water and walks .

I found the Blue ridge trail ill designed and without any wow factor I regularly frighten myself at Holden Forest and I am always in awe of the views there which riding the blue route didn't give me at Plym. I am sorry for the negativity but thats how I feel.
