Very good But

Review:
poorly signposted. So newbies should go with some one who knows the routes. The 'owners' do trail maintenance but have never added new posts so newbies get lost. I've suggested new signs many times. Have given up. Also the owners should leave the trails alone. They have spoilt the red with a section of boarding after gate 3.

Summary:
Good for starting out, but...

Review:
The first few times I rode at Swinley I had a great time. After spending a couple of months riding at other places, I came back to Swinley and found it boring. There's a handful of good runs, but a lot of the routes feel identical to ride.

There's still some fun to be had in the red routes but not enough reward for the effort you put in.

Summary:
Nice trails some nice DH sections great fun

Review:
Great venue for me as a step up from Bedgebury which is my nearest trail centre. Varied with some great DH sections and a couple of smaller tables enough to keep the likes of me (relatively inexperienced /wrong side if 40) happy. Great friendly atmosphere on the trail with other like minded two wheeled "wanba bees" My only negative is the sign posting fir the red route is poor if you dont know the route ! Big shout to Scot who led me around. Is it the weekend yet!?
