Anywhere you like Simon

So long as the Police helicopter is grounded

I used to Trail/Enduro ride the old Braintree - Felsted - Dunmow railway line but it's been protected & made into a cycle/nature trail now.

The supply of woods & old quarries etc is all but dried up & any organised "Pay to Play" type sites can be expensive cos of insurance & public liability stuff.

Sorry I can't be more help.

Sometimes see some messing about off the road between East Tilbury and Stanford by Mucking tip. Just on the bend past the durox concrete block place.

Junction of Buckingham Hill Road & Hoford Road.

You might have to go and do a recce of the place first though, the police have clamped down on this sort of stuff a lot.
