Newbie in Tintern!

You'll need a circlip pliers to change wheel bearings.

an old butter knife and a few forks

Buy a bolt pack for your bike, if they are all different or odd sizes. They have the same size head usually 8 or 10mm but with different thread sizes. You can change most on the bike and only have the carry the one size socket/spanner for the job.

Limekiln Wood is legal and close to Tintern
Almost opposite the Abbey, through the pub/hotel car-park and straight up!

If youve got an OS Landranger map , there are 2 lanes in Tintern , one opposite the Abbey across the road as Shocker states which might be a bit of an eye opener , another one in Tintern further up the road near the Royal George ( turn in past it then look for a little driveway on left , its up there ) . you can piece a few more together from there , and some up in Whitebrook ( worse than Limekiln ! ) . If you can get to Redbrook , theres a nice steady lane that goes to Newland and then towards Scowles . If you are alone , the Redbrook lanes are very nice and pleasant . Limekiln and Whitebrook , I would approach with caution on your own , as there will be a lot of huffing and puffing  

Thanks for the info (and the heads up!)
I'll have a stroll up the spicy ones with the Mrs tomorrow morning for an assessment before I go on the attack!

Best if u don't tell her why the sudden interest in going for romantic morning walks,
unless she's a mad biker then RESPECT

I took my missus for a walk up Limekiln last year . She was sniffing the wild garlic , I was trying to picture a better line up the rocks
