We had Tony on site with his motorvator ready for an early start. By 9:30am we were digging out the main route in the new triangle section. Whilst Tony and Phil raced off into the distance Sean, myself, Andy and Richard followed on behind digging out the mud. We built up several bumps and bermed

Rain was forecast and the skies obliged. Luckily our trail builders are a hardy (and some say stupid) bunch. Excitement was high as Jez delivered the first two 5m beams for the bridge into the triangle. This was installed with the help of Phil, Richard and Kristian. The triangle area is going to contain around

This was a Saturday afternoon meet. A group consisting of Pete, Tom, Simon, Mike and Anne moved bricks and rubble from the car park to locations near the East side of the pitch. These are going to be used in the future to surfrace the only remaining stretch of unsurfaced trail. This project will take

This was a Wednesday evening meet. We spent two hours moving gravel up onto Piper’s hill. This was stockpiled in various strategic locations ready to be used to surface the new section as soon as the weather turns wet (for new section see the map below weekend build report).

After months and months spent surfacing existing trail (see the build reports) we’re finally going to work on a new section. This on Piper’s hill just after the rock steps. The plan is for a new climb and swoopy descent that will make better use of the hill side. It’s only taken us three years

We spent several months over the winter of 2010 surfacing and reinforcing existing sections of trail. Since the warmer weather the trail has dried out and is in great shape for riding. The hard work has paid off – the trail is really fun to ride at the moment. We’re in such a good mood
