Can't say I've ever really liked it as a whole, but does have some great sections and it's fairly close to me. Definitely more fun on an E-bike though as I found last weekend. Simons swamp - those rocks are just trying to put you off, not really well thought out in my opinion as are some other bits like the run up to the slab, more like trials riding! It's also so rough round a lot of it it's particularly hard on the arms!!
Was there yesterday, 8th October. Haven’t been for 6 years, before that used to ride it 13-15 years ago and enjoyed it then. Have to agree it’s degraded a lot, some sections returned to nature. Plenty of parts to throw you & pose danger that shouldn’t. Hully gully still fun, the trees have grown from last time I was there 😂
Thanks mate, and definitely! Apparently Yearsley is boggy as hell at the minute but looks like the weather is going to turn at the end of the week so just let me know.
@@seanhammond4527 Best off PM'ing through Facebook I reckon, I'm on there as Daft Oldman 😂. I love Yearsley despite dying there every time I go so would be good to get back there (it's been a few months)
Thanks bud, took me a while to get used to the bike but I love it now. I can't quite remember how many bars I had left but it must've been a couple because I was in boost all the way back to the car 😂
There are over 6000 subscribers to the Gisburn forest MTB trails page and yet only around SIX volunteer trail builders regularly turn up to the dig days. We try our best, but Considering that the RED 8 loop is approx. 11 miles long you can appreciate the difficulties in trying to keep on top of the trail maintenance.
Reminds me never to bother going again. Middle of nowhere, pain to get to, loads of boggy and/or blown out bits interspersed with some generic trail centre bits. Remember one good bit - homebaked or something?

went to gisburn last weekend for a bike demo.. soaking wet but mint fun. the trails are narly but great..
Great real video and good look at what the trails are like......hope the shoulder is ok. I wear shoulder pads now after a similar excursion.
Thanks bud, tbf it's still rubbish but I put that down to my age 😂
Gisburn at night on a Ebike is such fun. Turns them trails into a right goodnight it does 👌🏻
I love the rocky, knackered stuff. Not everyone wants flow.

I still think if it was easier to get to I'd ride it more.

Really poor trail maintenance is the main issue
Aye, suppose it's difficult to get local volunteers to get involved like Dalby or FoD. Shame though.
