The parking system is ridiculous. Loads of people standing around trying to work out how to pay. Tried paying by phone but you need to be preregistered or download the app and register on there. No parking machines in that car park at all. Alternatively you can nip quarter of a mile down the road to the other car park and use one of the many ticket machines there which are also valid for the swan pool car park. We cycled down and back in a few minutes. Why they couldnt have just put one of those ticket machines at swan pool?
There r no bins there at all so the council needs to do something about that because there was rubbish everywhere I picked it all up and put it in a big pile at the top but there is no where to put rubbish witch sucks
Next time we’re over we’re taking a roll of black bin liners. Definitely needs bins but sadly bins don’t last long at Sandwell Valley. Definitely needs something though!
I need to get down there for sure and looks pretty awesome 👌🏻
Looking well old friend
Cheers Ross, hope you’re well 👊🏼👍🏼
Was there Sunday that red trail is not good at all needs some work doing to it but the blue and black r running really nice to be fair
Once they have sorted the drainage and high impact areas it will be great. These things always happen with new trails ☺️👍🏼
Might take a trip here tomorrow. I'm in 2 minds due to the rain we've had. Any ideas how it's looking this week?
Heard there is a few soft spots due to the rain we’ve had. Council have been notified
Ok cheers hopefully it ain't raining too much tomorrow. Might leave it till the weekend
@@nfgsendit we’re coaching there on Saturday and weather is looking good 👍🏼
@@SkillsLoop ahh nice one hope you have a good day mate. yeah I checked the weather lastnight.🤞
Is this place good for jump bikes aswell as mtbs?
Yes 👍🏼 Always a good mix of every bike there
Any parking near by for taller vans? Sprinter high roof LWB
One of the lads had a high top and park in the carpark for the boat house.
There’s parking just 5 to 10 mins ride away . Google Sandwell country park . It’s a pleasant ride around swan pool to get the legs warmed up
Forge mill farm there’s a car park, has barriers but today the height barrier has been open not sure if it’s always open though

Once you have the app it’s a breeze and for a few quid for the full day we can’t grumble

Camera angle could be better bro 🤷🏽♂️🤟🏼
Tell me about it, was gutted when I got to the bottom but… it wouldn’t be a first hit if I refilmed it 😉
No good if you transport your bike on the roof then 😒
Pull up, take it off the roof, drive in and park up, used to have to do it all the time at redditch bmx track 👍
Cheers Adam! I love the place, and now you’ve shown me what I can aspire to on even the blue 🔥🔥🔥
Cannot wait to get down …. Only issue I have is I has Ford transit !!! Over 2m
