Is there a right and wrong way on the Stickler. Like all trails in Swinley they are bi-directional, although you could argue that riding up the Labyrinth would just be stupid. I personally prefer to ride it in the direction of Tank Traps.
Am surprised that people are complaining because a small part of Swinleys trail network is currently fenced off. Would people be just as unhappy if for example, it were due to forestry work?
There is so much riding to be had there, it's hardly an inconvenience and a great opportunity to find/ride some new trails or to ride some familiar trails in a different order. Stops you getting stale and bored of the same old stuff.
