[Closed] swinley conditions?

Well there was a fire there yesterday

Rode the red last weekend and it was mostly open, diversion after lower star post but I think that was about it. Oh, and the top of Labyrinth I think was closed too.

We didn't have time to ride the blue too but I think that's all open.

All in all it was mostly dry so I'd say it's worth a trip if you're not coming too far.

Anyone know more about the fire?

I read somewhere that there are works ongoing to remove scrub and they were burning that, so maybe that got out of control?

Just went there this morning and it's not too bad.

Stickler, Tank Traps, parts of Seagull and Deerstalker are all closed for maintenance but the rest of the trails are open and running pretty well.
The fire roads are fairly dry with the odd puddle here and there but nothing much to worry about.

Went on Tuesday & quite a bit open & was nice dry running…… really nice finishing without being soaked through.

thanks everyone, really appreciated.
