That link says the blue & green are closed but says nothing about the red so I'd guess it's open, but have no first hand experience.

Actually ignore that. If you scroll up to the top it says it's closed.

Cheers! I'd seen that the blue and green were closed but nothing about the red. But now I've scrolled up as you've suggested and there it is, closed!

Appreciate the heads up!

Yip, can confirm there's a sizeable diversion in place taking the you off half way up the elevator climb and finishing by retracing the main fire road back down with one wee bit of single track to finish.

So elevator decent, bad step and rooty bit beside the jump park all missing.

Was at Mabie this afternoon, confirmed that big chunks of the forest are shut off for (yet more, seemingly endless) felling works.
