After some city slicking, I’m back with my other on-going
tour, Caribbean Islands. My current location is the very fair isle of St Lucia.
Rising from the ocean in a flurry of greenery the south is where it’s at for
mountain biking. Behind the beach at Anse Mamin, a 500-acre estate awaits with
trails to temp all levels – easy-peasy, moderate and are-you-serious! They take
you uphill, downhill, and loop you through grapefruit and banana trees, ginger
lilies and ferns, dense and humid. Certain turns reveal the ruins and abandoned
workings of this former plantation. An education as well as a thrill ride. Throw
in a dip afterwards at Anse Mamin, which boasts some of the best snorkelling on
St Lucia, and this ride ticks plenty of sight-seeing boxes.
