Is there an up to date one online anywhere? The only ones I can find don't have the new blue bits on them.

Ta!

Without a doubt the worst trail map ever printed.

Let's hope if there is a new one it's actually of Dalby, unlike the current one.

Not great is it? I'm trying to work out a shortcut to take me dad on, I *think* I know where we need to go but I just want to double check.

Not online unfortunately, however they are available on site at either the forestry VC or Dalby Bike Barn.

Be aware that there a re a couple of big diversions on the red at the moment, this is from the forestry website:

Trail News- Sections 29-34 + 35-36 are diverted for harvesting and maintenance. There will be other diversions leading up to Easter so we thank you for your patience.

Ah cheers for that, I'll grab one while we're there. And try to work out what is closed...

I was up there last weekend, rode nearly all of the red aside from cutting out a few of the riggs, i think most of it is open 🙂

Aye we were there on Sunday, looks like there's a few more bits closed this week, including the bit of blue we were planning on using. Boo.

Easy to find from google

Not linked form the main Dalby website

The red was shut from post 36 for one section last week

Cheers, but that one's not actually up to date - it doesn't show the new blue route / sections.

Ok that's interesting.

The map I bought on the day shows the blue joining the red at post 33 and the seperating between 36 and 37

The diversion was post 35 to 36

Aye that sounds right from what I remember of where the blue joins, cheers. 35-36 was closed, but rideable fine last weekend, but I might just use fireroads to skip from Dixon's to post 36, then do the last little bit to the VC.

Is one section really called 'London Borough of Islington'?

I suppose it is a gnarly borough. Or maybe it just keeps going gently to the left.
