It's a beautiful forest, huge and mostly quiet when off the main trails or during the week. We should all be considerate; bikers slow down for people and animals, keep dogs on leads in busy areas or around horses or if you have potentially dangerous breeds, everyone take away all your litter including the dog poop & bags. As a walker, a cyclist and a dog owner I think we should all be able to get along with a little consideration. have a thought for others and we'll all enjoy what is a wonderful place to be. Thanks to all those that maintain paths and work to keep the place accessible to all. Cheers.
