Nice loop, has the stickler been finished yet. Or work started on the extension of it?
Is this trail, a reasonable start for beginners. No huge gaps to jump. Or 7ft Drop offs. Would it be okay on a hardtail.
Hi. Nothing at Swinley is really that technical – there are no real jumps or big drops. A hardtail will be absolutely fine.
It would all be fine on a hardtail. I’m working on a 20, 30 and 50km loop GPX. When I have them done I’ll ask Jon to post them up.
Any idea roughly how long this would take?
And how to navigate along the route as its not that clear :/
(Sorry, first time going to swinley, dont feel like getting lost!)
