Charity farm - farm ride

[WombatStew]

I know they have the fab XC course but has anyone been on the farm ride? What's it like? Are there any jumps other than the XC?

Alternatively does anyone know of any other farm rides with jumping opportunities? Somerford is a but far really and Crosby Chasers is now closed 👎

I dont know of any in Lancashire, but 30 miles from manchester airport (10 miles from the otherside of woodhead) is a 7 mile ride with loads of optional various height jumps from novice up to good x/c standard .Held the last Saturday of each month May/ Sept see www.farnleyestates.co.uk

That looks amazing but I think it'll be too far

Found on google (farm rides Lancashire) Craven country ride @ skipton, Charity farm Wrighington Wigan, Tilstone bank farm Taporley, probably all miles from you, but there are loads more on that page.

It's just four fields all linked together which you ride around the outside of them. Not worth the trip and no jumps. The x country is worth it but will be soaked at this time of the year. Thompson house have a farm ride but it is a gravel track more suitable for the carriages or a walk/trot ride. I would probably go the beach or maybe up to Rivington? It's only around 25 mins from charity farm and the tracks are more Woodchip type. There is a place called home Farm Chester ways or Bickerstaffe hall have a farm ride

You need to go to Somerford or Kelsall Hill. Or Craven, when they open again.
