Hi,

Just found out about the falkland trails. What's the deal with them regarding riding? If I could get some info that would be great, my pal and me don't mind paying for a membership. Is the fb page still used?

it's £25 a year, but i think if you (presumably) won't be riding there often and would help building they'd let you ride without paying. (just to say it's not my decision, someone should correct me if i'm wrong)
and i think there's a ban on building until 2014 aside from repairs but i'm not too sure why...

Hey guys just to clarify. You can come and ride falkland for free once or twice to get a feel for the place and if you like it then its 25 pounds a year. Helping to build does not get you a free membership although it would buy you more time to pay lol. Trails are due a good tidy up.

+56° 14' 59.97", -3° 13' 12.37" copy that into google maps and on the point go into street view and you'll see the bottom of the trail. and if you want someone to show you around i'll probably be going up at the weekend anyway. don't expect me to keep up though lol
