incorporating Spookywood? Been plenty times but think I will tackle the black run this time...I dont however want to miss out on the pleasure that is Spooky Wood. If memory serves me right they dont cross paths automatically.

    The routes don't cross, but I think you can catch a fire road track down just after the transmitter and it'll take you down to the Spooky Wood decent (or at least, just round the corner from it).

    But if you do that you'll miss the Boundary Trail IIRC, and Deliverance/Redemption to boot. You could drop down and do spooky and climb back up if you really want to but do you really like it that much? [/quote]

    Well having not done the Black I wouldnt be able to compare them so...I probably dont like it enough to climb up again ha.

    Fack it, apparently theres silly big trees all over the black route, will just do the red twice.

    If you mean blockages, I don't think there is? There was loads of closures because of the mad snow (part of the boundary snow was under feet of snow for months) and there was logging on the hard bit but it's all open again as far as I know.

    I like the black but then I think spooky wood's not that good so maybe you should ignore me :lol: It's ace though, nicely worn out in places and pleasingly hard work. It's just not very black, is all :lol:
