Just in case it hasn't been posted before, a quick warning about some errosion at Swinley.
It's at the smaller of the 2 corkscrews, the one that brings you out by the concrete tank traps. There was always a small drop off as you entered it, but after the recent weather it's now a lot steeper. I saw 2 fellas tip over on Sunday. I'm not saying it's not doable but these guys were tipped over as their chainring hit a root. Both were unscathed (although a little :oops:
) and I have to say seeing them saved me from a similar fate.
There is now a chicken runto the left of it.
I'm not saying don't do it, more if you're not expecting it, you may have probs.

Well the whole gully was flooded on Saturday and it had been closed off. There is also a big piece of trail missing near the bottom of the full nine yards near the manhole end.0

Yep, I went out on Sunday too and came home early. It's going to take a fair bit of TLC to get the trails back into a fit state.Lapierre Zesty 514 - 20100
