It doesn't mention anything about the Red Route. My definition of closed is closed?

Well, they can't stop you riding & plenty of folk are riding

[i][b]"Please note that the Forest Drive is open to the Visitor Centre only and all trails are closed due to snow and ice until further notice."[/b][/i]

I think the word [b][i]all[/i][/b] sort of encompasses the red route

Sorry didn't see that! Is it worth making the trip up from Nottingham next weekend if the conditions are bad? Don't mind the mud but not sure i want to make the effort if it's still under heavy snow/ice.

Given that the forecast is for a few days of mild weather with no more snow in sight - I think it'll be fine

you couldn't be more wrong! went there today it was a complete waste of time... ended up carrying the damn bike through a few feet of snow in some places.

Should have listened to their website really shouldn't I ??

IMO if its closed its closed for a reason, Its getting pretty worn now and people riding it while its soggy as shit is going to nark it up
