After much digging and elbow grease, work has nearly been completed on a brand new red-graded trail at Queen Elizabeth Country Park, Hampshire. It will officially be opened on Saturday 19 May.

It’s been a year in progress as the QECP Collective trail builder, all of them volunteers, have sculptured the new 5 mile trail. Graded red, it replaces the old orange ‘advanced’ route.

As well as the new trail, the team have worked hard to renovate existing trails. But don’t take our word for it, have a watch of this little video:

Queen Elizabeth Country Park is easy to get to, located just off the A3 south of Petersfield. Connect the collective on facebook and twitter
