Last year on the nice BW from Lawsons to Parkamoor there were trees felled so the enduro trails were gone and on the BW going South there was ALOT of downed trees from the previous storm.
Is this still an area to avoid or has it / some been fixed by the fairies?
All the main bridleways in the forest are now cleared (boulder alley, triple descent, diagon alley, the fox etc. Went over to parkamoor 6 months ago and there was some walk around to get to the top, but the bw descent itself was clear. I haven’t been down Lawson park since it was blocked by Arwen. As far as I know, the west side (above coniston) was logged out then arwened, pretty much destroying everything. However, I have seen pictures from this weekend that suggests lines are being cut again. Hopefully someone more gnar will join this thread with some more up to date info?
At least the first climb on the NF is finally back open, passing through there seemed to be only a small area of damage in the end, but looks can be deceptive, I suppose.
I've been told there are off-piste tracks opened up again on the Coniston side.
Apparently 2/3rds of Viking is running and some of the steeper bits.
No word on Cheeky V or the Lawson tracks, sadly.
Thanks, sounds like its a possibility.
Funnily enough, a video poppped up on Insta tonight of a rider on a trail called Supernoodle.
Thanks Mugboo. Cant remember which ones we rode (before the felling)
Good work Scruff, glad to see you are on it.
Can anybody suggest any Instagram accounts to follow for sneaky Grizedale / Coniston / Satterthwaite riding please?
Went on holiday to Grizedale this year and had a fab time finding some great trails, going back next year to find more!
Trailforks.
You're unlikely to locate any trail entrances by following people on Insta.
I've generally been shown around by pals, met helpful people while out riding or just seen something and given it a try.
As Scruff says, Trailforks is worth a look, but it doesn't have a lot of the stuff on the other side of the road.
