Build report: Sun 19th June 2011. Triangle and Piper’s hill
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

Build report: Sat 18th June 2011
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

Build report: Sun 15th May 2011 – triangle entrance rocks
We’d made great progress on the new triangle entrance on the previous day. Our plan for the day was to finish the rock path off and then take a look at the exit route. When Phil and myself arrived at 10:15 (late, tut tut) we found Jez there ready with the power barrow plus a

Build report: Sat 14th May 2011
The plan for the weekend was to cut some new trail to provide connections to the triangle area. The triangle once contained an optional loop, something that we inherited when we took over the trail in 2009. The optional loop had a lot of issues that we wanted to fix by complete redesign. Part of

Build report: Sat 16th April 2011
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

Build report: Wed 13th April 2011
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). There’s little point in putting the

Build report: Sat 9th & Sun 10th April 2011
Saturday 9th April 2011 The plan for the weekend was to dig out a new climb and descent on Piper’s hill. This was the result of three years of discussion and around 15 drawings concerning what to do with the hill. The plan was quite simple – a diagonal climb up the hill roughly parallel

This was a Wednesday evening meet. We had a great turnout with several new people, which is great. By 8:15pm we had marked out the new section on Piper’s hill, cleared all of the branches and dug out the top section.
