trail	date	description
Flat Green/Blue	Jul 15, 2026 @ 12:24pm (Europe/Isle_of_Man) Jul 15, 2026
Turn down for what	Jul 12, 2026 @ 9:59am (Europe/London) Jul 12, 2026
Scrambled Eggs	May 26, 2026 @ 1:09pm (Europe/London) May 26, 2026	Logging disruption at the lower section of the upper trail, somewhat of a work around but total vibe killer
Gub Hill	May 23, 2026 @ 8:17am (Europe/London) May 23, 2026	Overgrown vegetation - lots of whippy branches to 'encourage' you along as you ride through. Really needs FLS to give it some TLC.
Rab's Slippy One	Apr 18, 2026 @ 12:13pm (Europe/London) Apr 18, 2026	Still closed since either Storm Arwen or Eoywn. It's been so long I can't remember.
