Usually do the old XC loop up toward Thrunton crag to the pond and along to the cairn, back toward the stream below Coe Crag (or up onto it if the weather is kind) before heading into the woods onto the man made stuff for a few hours. Some of them...
What routes do you guys usually do?
I'm running a P7 Cree on the bars now with a pair of NiteRider Mi-newts angled to the sides for extra fill and a Cree P7 on my helmet. Absolutely brilliant combo for nightrides. When you up Thrunton next Merv?
Hi Si, bought one of those Cree P7 lights, unbelieveable, tried it out last night at Thrunton Woods, together with my Stella 120 it is a brilliant combination, well worth £60. Cheers
We will be up on Thursday this week from around 7:30 if anyone wants to join us
Me & mate are up there tonight, but generally get up there until 8.30, was up there on Saturday night for two hours, heavens opened & got soaked up great fun, you certainly do needs good lights
You need lights in the daylight in some places up there! Have a look on eBay for the Cree P7 torches, they are light and have 900 lumen and make a great helmet torch. At £50ish they are much cheaper than cycling specific stuff. Combine them with s...
Sounds good :D... I would be up for it but I take it you need lights?
A few of us guys from the Morpeth area are now doing regular Tuesday night rides again. We usually meet around 7:30 and ride for a few hours and then go for a few pints in Longframlington afterwards. Anyone want to come along?

The special thing about the trails in Thrunton is that they are kept natural as possible and not signed or graded. So when you do ride them, it is always a surprise. There is a definitive map to all of the trails, available to anyone who joins the...
Every other weeked, when I can basicaly. Im 16 so I have to get a lift and usualy take my friend I know a few others ones too because i've been riding up there quite a bit now ;D. UsualySaturday afternoons.
Our club will be there this thursday about 7:15pm, I'm assuming one of them knows their way around.
yeah ive tried that run mate its one of my favorites, how often do you go up there mate?
Well the thing with Thrunton is that you know it or you don't. The place is a maze with trails so I suggest just going out and exploring. Worked for me ;D.
If you don't already know this one I highly recommend it. A sound Downhill/freeride trail w...
I live in Alnwick, and up there quite abit as its quite local to me. I just tend to go up myself as i tent to just go up for the downhill sections.
