Yes Jamie we can a complete loop of the forest around 13 miles that doesn't count trails in between but then it all depends on where we start. If you look at some of my earlier rides on strava they are before I was shown some of the other routes in the forest. We can easily do 20-30 in there in a day. We can also ad some of the south downs way in as well if you like. Hopefully will be a lot drier by then

That is a complete loop of the forest with out any trails in the middle and starting at the base of the forest also takes In a lovely country pub lol. But we will add 3miles on at the beginning and whatever else we add in whilst in the forest or surrounding it

Second route is my favourite route do it most times I'm in there usually have a gentle ride across to the far side then climb back to the top and do that route back down again

I'll be hitting Delemere Forest soon. Looking forward to getting back out on the bike. When I've found the shed keys that I dropped today in the snow that is.

I wasn't impressed with Delemere tbh, there seems to be no way to find your way around the place and you end up just randomly riding around.

There a couple of signed routes but then loads of unofficial ones. Guess its just a case of becoming familiar with them.
