If anyone fancies a bit of a ride around Swinley next Saturday, then let me know. Be good to get a group out for a nice ride. Coffee and cake at the Lookout could be the order of the day afterwards. I’ll post details up here and on the Facebook page. Post up if you’re interested.
Maybe get some video and a few photos to post up on the site.
Nice little traffic widget Updated every 5 minutes apparently.
Follow the link or select from the ‘Swinley Forest’ menu tab.

Great morning to be out riding…lots of people out at Swinley for a ride today
Deer Stalker Map
…and a few pics from my ride into Swinley this morning (also my commute to work 
)
A random photo of Jump Gully which I came across while sorting through the some old photos.
I’ll see if I can get some video of this one over the weekend.
Tried out mounting the GoPro on the bar today, rather than on my helmet. Seems to work quite well. Much better impression of speed and change of direction.
Fantastic day for a ride, and discovered some pretty good jumps (too severe for me) near Junction 4a of the M3. Was good fun to ride around though.
New videos will be added regularly, so check out the Swinley Forest Singletracks which now has a new column to show you where a video is available. I’ve also re-introduced the YouTube Channel. Here are a few to get started.
If you enjoy what you see here on
Ride Swinley then share an article or a page with your friends on Facebook. Just click on the icon.
I’ve finally bought a new GoPro video camera so there will be some High Def video linked to the routes, so you’ll be able to view the video of a trail as well as the Google mapping and the downloadable .gpx files.
If you haven’t already, Like Ride Swinley on Facebook, tell your friends and keep up to date with what’s going on….and don’t forget to post on the ride planning or Facebook page if you fancy trying to get a few people together out for a burn around the trails.
Two new routes available courtesy of a couple of users – enjoy.
Swinley Loop – Michael B
Impossible Hill and Butter Hill – Nick M
I’ve also added these in to the Swinley Forest Singletracks table and are both available to download.
Thanks for the contributions. If you have any routes, photos or video you want to share, then I’ll be happy to add them to the site. Just email me at jon@rideswinley.com
