No Mini Bikes in Moneyscalp Forest

Obviously, as usual, the organisers don't want to spoil anyones fun but they do not have permission from the Forestry to allow Mini Bikes or similar in the forest during the event. Please don't put the organisers in a position where riders are disqualified for breaking this rule. Its only a short walk to the top! This has also been an issue with Big Wood in the past, it is advised, anyone going into Bigwood, or indeed Moneyscalp please be aware of other users of the forest, don't leave rubbish and don't bring your mini bikes.

Weather

As usual with it being winter we can almost predict it to be raining, although things could change. keep an eye of the weather for Moneyscalp HERE!
