Is the road north of Fairholmes open?

I am looking to walk, possibly drive up there at the weekend.

I know it is usually closed at the weekend until end of Oct – so was expecting it to be open.

However I also found this suggesting it is shut

I think it’s an old article but it’s unhelpfully not dated!

cheers for any info….

There were quite a few cars going up and down it on Saturday and the gate across the road at Fairholmes was open when we rode through

Most of Lockerbrook is in a right mess with the heavy machinery up there and they have stuck a gate in just after the last left hander

Nice one – thanks ?

I last rode lockerbrook about a year ago after they completely ruined it… Doubt I’ll return which is a massive shame. I used to love that trail.
