After getting hopelessly lost last night in the dark and ending up at the Broadmoor fence, then spending the rest of the ride thinking........
"If that alarm goes off now the usual night ride paranoia about axe murderes chasing me down so they can wear my skin as a cape in the corner of my lights wouldn't be paranoia anymore"
I really shouldn't go out for night rides at midnight alone un unfamiliar trails.........
Anyway, anyone care to show me a useable loop on the trails beyond the seagull run and corkscrew?
End of lunchtime bump
Do you mean you went beneath the underpass, ie Devil's Highway?
I have been in the middle of Swinley, walking my dog, when the siren sounded. Believe me, it was terrifying! The escapee was eventually found in the Forest.
Kinda, I came through the more open bit of woods off 9 mile ride just after the Crowthorne roundabout then headed South in the general direction of the underpass as I'd seen the race going through that way on Sunday.
I could show you around. I usually start from the lookout and actually know the Crowthorne side least.
I am an axe murderer though.
I can remember going for a ride with two mates around Broadmoor in 1991 the day when the Wolfman escaped, I doubt I'd do it again though but was interesting at the time. He was eventually found on the South Coast about 3 days later I think. Spooky place and I wouldn't like to ride round there at night on my own.
Was pretty cool actualy, the mist and bastid head lamp made seagull run like one of those 90's PC raceing games where the depth of view is really short.
WTRFPSU, I'll fire you off an e-mail later
i finally explored crowthorne side (more) properly last week.
Can't wait to go back this weekend and re-ride it. Is there much more beyond the underpass?
Got some gpx files if it helps.
Ive headed under the underpass a couple of times and never really found that much, although that doesnt mean it isnt there. I really like the Crowthorne side of Swinley tho, you usually have it pretty much to yourself down the week,
Well if you look hard enough there are some old motocross tracks on butter hill
