A fair chunk of the Staunton stuff isn't running due to FC work at the moment

Avoid Staunton, everything is trashed due to FC work.

Alas I'm not free, but also it's also one of those areas that's a lot better in the dry, which it won't be today.

T & J - havent been out for a while but saw a video last week of Racheal G riding billies slabs so assumed it was ok?

How much is taken out?

Billy's has now been cleared top and bottom. Dead end down is blocked, Rhys' has has the boar through it, Bridget's is clearish but will be a bog. Top of bunker is trashed, not sure about the top of the ridge. Bottom of both are ok. Widowmaker is blocked (I think). 3s up and black are clear. Stuff on the redbrook side is unaffected at the moment

Any info on when this phase of forestry work is due to end? Not been up since end of last year. Been avoiding due to the felling mainly. Keen to get up there and clear bits out once it is safe/worthwhile. Also does anyone know if there are plans to move works over to Redbrook side soon as well?
