We tidied up the trail on the South side of the pitch. This was originally build in December 2008. The line was straightened out a bit and a new berm was built in place of a tight corner round a tree. Meanwhile, on the North side of the pitch another pointless corner was removed. Finally

Phil and myself (Tom) did a test ride of the trail. Here’s our feedback which was posted on the Facebook group at the time: “ Phil and myself did a test ride this afternoon. We’ve identified a whole load of things that don’t make sense on the route, but on the plus side there’s several
