Gisburn Forest – February 2010
Well as you probably already know we’ve all been in the depths of a deep freeze this winter, and the dirty bikers have been itching to get out and about. So when the weather did start to get a bit milder, founder members Pete Owen, Alan Yarwood, and Mike Warhurst thought it was time to hit Gisburn Forest!
Early start as normal, I open the curtains, and great, we have full covering of snow. After quick conference with the boys we all agree that were going to do it anyway, you only live once. So were off on our way to Gisburn, and after about 1 ½ hours were pulling up outside a pub, next to a forest, wondering what the hell we were doing.
Can I also add that Mike Warhurst seems to think that Gisburn Forest is a local loop, no mate it isn’t lol..
There are two places you can start the Gisburn Forest which are either at this pub, or the correct start which for some reason we didn’t do. Why was that? Anyway as soon as you get on the trail it does start to flow quite nicely. Most of the course is a red route, but with a combination of snow and rock it was pretty difficult in places.
