There are lots of single tracks to explore that are unmarked so you can string your own route together – a good start point for finding some of them is Brandon Country Park. The country park also has a café for those that wish to enjoy a brew and sugar fix and avoid the slightly ‘younger’ and busier High Lodge area.
