On 29 October 2009, Still Woods, (officially known as the Plantation, Long Ashton) was closed to mountain bikers by landowners Bristol University. This brought a close to over 5 years' use of the site as a venue where challenging riding could take place in relative safety.

We want Still Woods to stay open as a venue for mountain biking.

We oppose the attempts by Bristol University to stop people using the site .

We wish for all work to be halted until an open discussion on the future of the woods can be agreed by all.

We are prepared to work with the University to secure the future use of the land and meet any requirements that may entail.
