Just back from Swinley and I wouldn't bother.... loads of the blue closed for repair and whats left is a rather rough, fire road climbs on the red are almost as muddy as Epping
It really hasn't fared well in the recent weather

Bredgbury is ride-able as a whole as of yesterday trip there. Lots of mud and standing water still so take your seal skin socks |

I did wonder if I was making Swinley sound worse than it was due to just having got back from a bit of a duff ride.... but a quick look at there facebook page says I'm not Facebook wrote: Worst I have ever seen it on Saturday, quite comical in places, but Babymaker and Labyrinth were fine. I can see allot more closures and repairs to the new stuff on the cards, needs to be left alone for a while. I'm sure there are ridable bits but the diversions around the closed sections are a bit suspect so it's rather easy to get lost.... we did
