Going to Swinley forest on Sunday, are the downhills like Babymaker and Axle open? And the Gulley?
I know most of the rest is shut.

Is there anything good over in Crowthorne, and if so how to you get to it?

Thanks
Gabe

The downhill is open but thats it and just as well the logging vehicles have turned it into a bog. Even if you sneaky ride the new armooured stuff its mostly not settled yet and like riding on sand.

Swinley is shut people.

Indeed, but the gulley is trashed from people trying to ride it all winter. Speeking of which, does anyone know how it'll fit in with the new built trails? Is anyone appart from the crown estate allowed to maintain the trails, and if not is the gulley just going to dissapear, it usualy needs a fair bit of work doing at the start of the sumer.

Good news, some of the previously closed trails are being reopened for tomorrow, namely the top of W9Y, Stickler, Tank Traps and Deer Stalker.

Babymaker, Axle, Jump gully, Labyrinth etc. have been open all the way through.

Is it going to work like any other trail centre then? I.E. follow the route, no deviation etc? That's the impression I've got from what I've read on this.

Yes that's the plan, although the trails around the Labyrinth are staying. The newly built trails look amazing - so no worried about losing trails...
