Forest 450 cycle challenge

Congratulations to all our Forest 450 finishers 

You took on the epic challenge to ride 450 miles on Forestry England trails. You did it your way and set out for the forest time and again over the past six months. Now you’ve racked up the equivalent distance from Kielder Forest in Northumberland to Cardinham Woods in Cornwall.  

Massive well done and kudos to every single one of you.
