This was a bit of a last minute and low key build evening, but we still got loads done. Phil Mayger, Phil not Mayger and myself spent a few hours digging out mud from the main loop in the triangle. We’re all pretty pleased with how the new line looks. It’s a lot less twisty […]

Meeting at 6:30pm in the car park. We’re keen to carry on with the progress in the new triangle section. Trail build evenings allow for an hour or two of work and a lot usually gets done in that time. We’ve got tools, but it would be useful if you can bring any more spades,

The weather forecast had been correct: heavy rain was falling from a dark sky when we arrived at 9am on Saturday morning. Tony La Porte was there ready with his rotorvator plus Kristian, Phil and myself (Tom). The target for the day was to dig out more trail in the triangle area. Tony quickly got

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

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

Most of the last year was spent surfacing and repairing existing trail. We dug out a new section on Piper’s hill in April (build reports and video). If all goes to plan then on this day we’re now going to start work on a completely new section that will eventually give us 800m of new
