BMBO National Champs Weekend 2023
Posted: 29/11/22
SLOW are hosting the next BMBO National Champs weekend on 8/9th July 2023. The event centre is booked and the dates are now confirmed.
The area is very popular and boasts some of the best mountain biking terrain in the south east. It’s quite hilly and there’s an extensive network of trails which can make navigation challenging in places. Sometimes prominent tracks can lead you astray when you are trying to follow the bridleways.
For anyone who wants to camp, we recommend booking in to Etherley Farm (https://etherleyfarm.co.uk/) which is 4km from the event base. Nearby accommodation is likely to get booked up and we recommend booking sooner rather than later. There is a minimum of 2 nights booking. The Parrot pub is a short walk from the campsite.
YHA Holmbury St Mary is another option which is 2km by road from the event base. If you are staying here please ride to the event. There is limited parking at the venue and we will provide details about other local car parks in the event information.
If you want an extended trip there’s a wealth of fantastic riding in the area. Pre-riding an area is not within the spirit of an event but we won’t be using the local open access trails so if you’ve not ridden here before look out for local singletrack such as Barry Knows Best, Telegraph Road, Yoghurt Pots and Summer Lightning. The Hurtwood area around the event base is open access for individual mountain bike riding but this does not apply to events so we will be sticking to the extensive bridleway network. Peaslake Village shop and Leith Hill Tower are classic refreshment stops. Other great areas to ride include commons around Tilford and Hindhead or the South Downs.
