Mornin' all,

Got 5 days off work starting today and just been up to Swinley to have a quick blat around and it's shut.

They are filming something or other, lots of trucks and generators and stuff.

The Go Ape bit is open as is the Lookout but the fireroads to the left of the lookout are all taped off.

Anybody know what they are filming / is going on and when it will be open again?

Hopefully they're ploughing up some of the wrecked trails up there…?

Harry Potter – maybe

I thought it was Harry Potter too.

you are a mountain biker, trail diversions should mean nothing to you.

ride on.

I tried riding round the tapes but got shouted at by rather large security guard types with walkie talkies

There must be eleventy-seven-hundred-dozen ways into Swinley! Use some imagination!

I'd be up there like a rat up a drainpipe if I wasn't at work, just to have a nose round. 🙂

Again? I though the Potter stuff was done with. Maybe they are shooting the revised ending to Return of the Jedi, as suggested earlier this week, where the Ewoks are all massacred in graphic detail?

It is private property folks, so leave them to it.

this better be an Aprils fool!!!!!

Yeah, but where's the fun in that? I'm sure the tabloids would pay well for some decent sneak Harry Potter pics!

As I said, I'm stuck at work, but if I wasn't, I'd have the long lens on the 400D pronto!

The Potter lot have finished – the security guard told me that Wills and Harry have got themselves some Marins and they want to shred some royal gnar so they've closed it off. The place does belong to their Grandma after all.

Took a quick photo of the security guards
