Hi, I'm off to Swinley for my first visit on Friday, and although I have a map of the forest with marked trail sections, does anyone have a nice route that I could follow on my GPS? A ride that would take in the best singletrack on offer.

TIA

Someone off here kindly sent me some files last year. I'll forward them on by email to the address in your profile.

Should be plenty to keep you busy for a while.

I've just noticed that OpenCycleMap has, it seems, all the trails labelled ๐Ÿ™‚
Bit of a rabbit hole isnt it!

Im not familiar with that, is it a website?

There's literally trails everywhere. I'm not local to Swinley but ride there a dozen or so times a year and find new trails everytime we go.

FM, Open source maps - they are available on a variety of GPS systems. I'm using Viewranger (OS maps avaiable too)

RM, Yes, I'm aware of that and would like to go, but have an Enduro race on Sunday - the missus would not be pleased ๐Ÿ™‚

Wow, great fun! Thanks for the maps FM, Sort of followed one until we got to Labyrinth - what an amazing trail that is! Berm after berm in such a small space!
Meet another mate and went onto Jump Gully after that

Top day, and great weather too ๐Ÿ™‚
