does anyone know where i can find trails or maps of trails or whatever in the coffs harbour area? i saw some photos on this site, and have been looking the last 2 times i was there, but no luck...just thought someone may have been on some here?

Not sure about any online stuff. That is generally hard to find. But sometimes the National Parks and Wildlife has some info. As well as NSW tourism.

But you could always purchase an actual 1:25,000 topographical map from a map shop. These usually contain firetrails, but not single trails.

http://www.mapworld.com.au/

They are located in the city, and I have purchased map there before. They are pretty cheap, about $8 a map. And they will order in any map you need if they don't have it, and call you when it arrives.

Hope this is useful.

Cheers.

be to yellow pages search bike shops in the Coffs Harbour area and google search MTB clubs there as well long before you head. If you can find a local clubs web site then you'll be able check out their forum pages and chat away with locals who are normally only too happy to show people around or atleast head them in the right directio. The same goes for local bike shops, remember if they look after you then when you do break something where are you going to go, back to the bloke who gave you the heads up. There are plenty of good trails up that way, seen plenty of reports and ride stories of the area when I've been surfing the net, unfortunately I have had no plans of heading up that way so didn't make any notes. Actually now that I think of it one of the AMB trail maps was for up that way. I'll see if I can dig it out for you. In the mean time let your fingers do the walking.

Yes the second last edition of Australian Mountain Bike had a full article on the trails in the Coffs area. Looked like a good place for a group get away ;- 0

Something to think about!

who post on the farkin.net forums. If you go to the general forum, then under the "Riding" heading is a heading called "watering hole" click on NSW and some people from Coffs post there about getting together for rides. They will no doubt have talked about where they are riding and would probably answer some questions about trails if you log in and post there yourself.
Hope that helps,

Well, the dude that posted the Pine Creek Map said that Forests NSW did that for them, and there were more in the pipeline.

You could try and PM him (you can PM anyone from the 'write to author' link under posts).

Was someone hinting at a trip up there be organised? Phew, long way, let's do ACT first Eye-wink
