We made it out - Brad is a good car pusher!

Hopefully better conditions next time. Can't believe I didn't think of bringing a shovel!

Javi what was Swinley like? I'm organising a trip with mates beginning of March and need to decide between Swinley and Woburn. Some are fit and others are better bike handlers both boys and girls. Any views appreciated. 64km's that's a fooking looooong way!

There are plenty of man made singletrack and some downhillsish sections with berms and so but in general is quite flat. Better go with someone who knows the area. Loads of fun. Check out Deer stalker and labirynth (don't know mopre names :lol: )awesome singletrack. I'll try to edit some clips I recorded yesterday. NO idea about Woburn. I think Swinley is suitable for novices as well.

Deer stalker I did 2 weekends ago
