Looks like it - Trail Team Swinley seem to think it is so.
Sandy Cutting Closure
The Crown Estate has announced they will close the Sandy Cutting (also known amongst the mountain bikers as the Jump Gully) with immediate effect.
Although popular, Sandy Cutting has been the site of many accidents over its lifetime - too many. During the latest inspection by The Crown Estate, it was finally decided to close it.
Having looked at the accident rates for the last 12 months with The Crown Estate, Sandy Cutting accounts for over 40% of all reported incidents in the forest. This is not sustainable or defendable for The Crown Estate, and TrailTeam Swinley supports this decision.
We understand that there are many mountain bikers who will be very upset by this decision and we would like to remind them that at the end of the day, The Crown Estate have a responsibility to all users of their land and it would be irresponsible to keep a feature known to be a high cause of incidents open.
The Crown Estate have asked anyone who wants to discuss this with them to call 01753 860 222
Should pop down there and crash hard for old times sake
