Just received this email from Gorrick. Surely it should be free to annual permit holders? Or am I just being tight? With parking I’m now looking at £50 a year or so to ride there.
Dear Permit Holder,
We hope that you have been enjoying the trails in Swinley Forest this Summer, and thank you to those of you who have taken the time to email us with positive feedback about the work that we have done on them so far this year.
As you may know, from next week Bracknell Forest Borough Council will be introducing car parking charges at the Look Out. This does not, in any way affect the need to have either an Annual or Day Permit if you intend to cycle at Swinley Forest. However, if you do drive to Swinley and park at The Look Out then the following will apply:
· Annual Permit holders (take your receipt in with you, it shows you have a Permit and confirms your address) will be able to buy a six monthly parking permit from Reception at The Look Out where you will receive a £20 discount on a Parking Permit.
· So Bracknell Forest BC residents will pay £30 less £20 = £10
· And Non Bracknell Forest BC residents will pay £50 less £20 = £30
· Day Permits should still be purchased from our website www.gorrick.com or from The Look Out, this ensures that you have the necessary Public Liability insurance cover to ride, and when you park at The Look Out, if you take your receipt to Reception, your £2 parking fee will be refunded.
We will be running lots of different mountain bike events across the South of England in the coming months, so take a look at www.gorrick.com if you think you’d like to take part.
Regards,
Gorrick Swinley Forest Cycling
