I looked up this thread as I was interested in what the scaffolding might be….still don’t know. 🙁
Anyhow, I think it’s a bit harsh to have a go at people walking the trails. I don’t think the trails are “waymarked” on the ground, so it’s not unreasonable to expect people to be there. I’ve biked swinley most weeks for 8 years and I didn’t know there was a “waymarked red mtb trail” perhaps I’m really unobservant?
One could easily meet another biker coming the other way since there’s no one way system. I’m not defending grumpy twonks who don’t let you by etc, but I think you should ride swinley with some sympathy for other users.
