More MTB trails around Newcastle

Posted by Biogenesis_ on 14 December 2008 in English.

Today I went for a mapping ride through the Jesmond Bushland in Newcastle, NSW. The area is council land that's reserved for public recreation, but there's nothing official that allows MTB trail building and maintenance. Either way there's nothing to prohibit MTB'ers from riding there :).

Anyway, I just mapped as much as possible until the water ran out. A good chunk of the trails got surveyed, but there's still a lot of trails that need to be discovered. I'd approximate that, in terms of track distance, the area is about 50% surveyed.

Use OSMARender to view. At the time of writing only a small section has been rendered.

Wow, I was surprised that Newcastle was looking so good.
That's because it's not the Jesmond suburb of Newcastle, North England, U.K.
