As part of their Big Ride routes section, the guys from Mountain Biking UK headed down to Swinley Forest near Bracknell, Berkshire to see what the trails there had to offer. You can check out what they found in the video.

WELL DONE MBUK, THANKS FOR THE GPS CO-ORDONATES TO THE TRAILS ON YOUR VID, WISH I HAD SEEN IT BEFORE I DROVE 121 MILES FROM SUFFOLK TO RIDE THESE HEAVEN SENT SINGLE TRACKS. IMAGINE HOW PISSED OFF I WAS WHEN I LOOKED FOR THE SIGNPOSTS DIRECTING ME THESE ODDLY NAMED TRAILS, AND FOUND NOTHING!!!!!!! WHAT WASTE OF FUCKING TIME, AND PRECIOUS FUELTHAT WAS, IF THETFORD FOREST CAN, WHY CAN'T SWINLEY??????
SUGGEST THE POWERS THAT BE GET TOGETHER WITH THE LOCALS AND WORK SOMETHING OUT!!!
Great guide, Thanks for showing us some new spots!
the proper guide & route map was in the magazine. Really looking forward to getting back there for a ride soon. Superb place and part of its appeal is the lack of signage (once you get to know your way around) 😉
I know the feeling – look on the internet for the routes – they are on there !
cooool
Loads of work going on at Swinley I think the Bike Radar team need to get back down there when its finished and review it all again?????!!!!! Love Swinley!!
