I was shocked how much I had to concentrate on my riding
Agreed. I have the grazes to prove it after a high speed bike-tree interface 🙂
Only found tank traps the other week. Certainly think you have to ride that towards the tank traps though on that bit. The rest you can do either way.
The other part with the wooden bridge over the tree, is that Stickler then?
There's another section which has some concrete tank trap blocks which is quite fun. Again only found that recently. It's out west / north west -ish I think from Lower Star Post. Look for an entrance on the left down one of the fire roads. I think it's called Seagull? Recently been renovated.
Feel free to call me cynical but I don't think mountain bikers will see any benefit from the income received by the Crown Estate.
deadkenny - yes, that is The Stickler. Tank Trap trail has those concrete blocks. The Seagull is a yellow brick road trail running from near The Devil's Highway to Lower Star Post.
Got a photo of what I thought might have been The Seagull.

I went over to swinley today. I'm not an expert at finding my way around there but found myself really losing my bearings trying to get around the fenced off area.
Just ended up playing on some little bits of trail I hadn't found before with some nice jumps and drop offs, before playing around in the jump gulley and going home.
Is the Labrynth (from the top of surrey hill) open at the moment? Couldn't find my way around to it with all the fencing.
deadkenny - probably although it does seem rather orange.
scott - when you say fenced area, do you mean at the top of Surrey Hill where the 'fencing' is now on the ground, or at least it was yesterday? Labyrinth should be open.
