[Closed] Gisburn - Closed?

The only bit that was shut was the Gully which whilst a really good descent is only a very small bit of the route (diversion is in place). The rest is fully open and dry. Martin, the head forrester was hoping to finish repairs this week and get it open for the weekend so you may be lucky. I emailed him last night but I haven't had a reply yet.

There is no black route as such at Gisburn, the black bits are really just optional extras off the red route. Certainly still worth riding the rest even if the Gully is closed (IMHO).

S'funny, but that is how it's described on the Forestry commision website.

Sounds like standard wording to be honest. I can assure the rest is open. I was there last Sunday building new trail with the man in charge 😉

There last sunday, just the gully closed. Rest of trails bone dry, great to come back covered in dust for a change. Hats off to the trail builders, great day out.

Hully gully is closed but all the rest is open according to this mornings post by @gisburnforest on Twitter

There's also a Facebook group which is updated a lot which might help with keeping up to date on what's open and what's shut.

Hully Gully is now back open...

Whoo hoo!!!! Hully Gully is back open. Thanks to all the guys who have worked so hard on it.

Smashing. I'm there Wednesday morning.

Just got back, the route up welpstone crag is knackered but you can still ride it. Hully gully is open but very loose and they have put a sneaky rock garden in there 😉

Oh the gits. I was looking forward to hurtling down that bit.

and they have put a sneaky rock garden in there

Hully gully is open but very loose

Oh well there's always the summer.

are you sure ?

Sorry, forgot to put in the ironic smilie. I'm hoping the summer brings the rain to bed it in properly, I'll get my coat.
