Anyone got a recent trail map for Gisburn?
I’ve had a look at the forestry commission website but that seems to be a fairly outdated map.

I can’t see one which has got the more recent sections (Circle and Swoopy) on it.

It’s all well-signed though at those points, unless the posts are covered in a three foot snowdrift, which is quite possible at the moment!

Think the nearest at the mo is this cobbled-together one on the Gisburn Forest MTB Trail Development FB page. The latest new section (Swoopy) actually starts slightly further on down the fireroad than shown, but it’s close enough and the signposts are in place, if you can see ’em!!!

Thanks chaps..

Trout was it Icy or nice cruchy snow?

95% was grippy but packed snow but an odd icy bit
But that was sunday and we have had a fair bit of snow since

Trout – what’s the software/ website you’re running your GPS download on?

Garmin basecamp but it uses the OS topo map in the gps

Was up today and did the lower loop plus hope line. No ice as such just plenty of snow. Felt bloody hard work.
