Great vid, I like to say I go to swinley Forrest often but need to go more. You made it look a lot smoother than some of the trails are and there are also some more knarlier trials with mainly roots etc.

Defo! I go to Swinley every now and again, which is great for a relative beginner like me. Would be keen to try some new trails though.

Maaaate, this is where I grew up! No real trails back then. Used to ride the Gulley jumps at swinley on the ol' hardtail back in the day. So many memories. Loved the vid. Subbbed!

Ah the infamous gully! :D . RIP. Flattened due to accident stats (though it wasn't particularly technical). The failed freeride zone was supposed to make it easier to get ambulances too! Flattened now due to over ambition and no progression. Really was for the few though and didn't fit the audience of Swinley.

@@TimMoore1 from what I remember swinley always used to be good riding back in the day but wasnt waymarked. Was a case of find someone in the know to lead you to the good stuff, so different now although some goodies still hidden away. There used to be a run down a dirt bank with a gap at the bottom then a 4ft drop a little ways after that, mate shattered his wrist on that and then rode back to the car park. Still like it though, although need to be on the pedals to get the most out of it for sure.

Definitely be visiting!

jim bob yeah it’s good here, perfect for winter riding too👍🏼

Good stuff. Swinley's good for keeping your fitness up throughout the winter but you're right when you say it's lacking anything that'll challenge anything other than a beginner. It's on the crown estate and their insurance dictates how gnarly the trails can be. The example of the no-helmet-hero at 35 seconds in is a perfect example of why the freeride area to the left of the fire road after the first section and the freeride gully have been decommissioned. It is designed to be a family orientated trail centre but unfortunately that does tend to lure people into a false sense of security. The amount of people I see riding Argos £99 specials without helmets at Swinley is scary and that flint hard packed into the soil can be pretty brutal on bare skin. Still, Swinley could really do with a techie-skills section.

@MtbTrailHub

woodsmccloud i think you’ve hit the nail on the head there...... 👍🏼 its a real shame the amount of work that went into the freeride area only for it to be left un ridden..... 😖

I go there a lot as its the nearest trails to West London. Youre right about it not being particularly difficult for experienced riders but i dont think its suitable for 'families' . I come across families with kids about 500 yards into the blue trail deciding its too bumpy and too uphill for the kids. As you said, its relentless on the legs!

Thanks Elaine, I don't know that area at all i'm afraid. i get the impression that there isn't much. You do have Aston Hill and Surrey Hills nearby which would probably be your best shout ( and Swinley of coarse)

There's a lot more hidden unofficial stuff there that you've missed out on plus the closed trails are a lot of fun, ie babymaker, shame you missed them.

The stuff is open again and Babymaker has just had a refresh and running really nice, plus plans to do more improvement work around that part (known as Clubhouse), with more fun and features, freeride stuff etc. That'll all be official stuff. There is much more to Swinley, though "off piste" is frowned upon by CE for insurance and SSSI reasons (the reason why the official trails were done in 2013), though the ginger and cobbles really is hard going and a bit meh.

Would be great to add what set up you used

Monica Axson Thanks, Yes defiantly. It’s very beginner friendly with almost all the trails being aimed at beginner to intermediate riders. Start on the green or the blue trail and then work your way onto the red which is effectively a longer version of the blue. 👍

I went last week and these were the first trails I've ridden. The blue is very easy going and slowly gets more difficult, which is nice for confidence. The red is more fun but the downhill section is quite scary if you're new (I think it starts at red 15)

I did think about going 150mm, but it's enough for me at the moment. I think I will change to a 1x11 and chain guide at some point though. I always seem to lose the chain (it mostly just needs shortening a bit i think), but I think 1x11 is generally the way forwards anyway.

Philip Howson yeah you are right, 140 is perfect for places like swinley but venues like Surrey hills/wales could do with a bit more travel. I had the same problem with the chain and have converted to 1x11, never had that problem since. Quite pricey to convert though🤑
