the plan is to have 2 main runs, one as a natural dh run, the other as a freeride run(jumps drops etc) but they will have multipul splits on both so you can link them or ride another part of the trail. gonna be quite interesting, but hard work. the top section is this years job, the bottow will be next years, i recon when we are done they will be about 3 min runs with maybe 4 or 5 different lines to take on each.

if you got a mini digger it would have to be a crawling one basically doesnt have tracks just boom arms and wheels ofr steep ground and these cost a lot to rent as they are rather specialist in the uk and unless you are licensed to drive cannot hire without a driver boooo



well ill be up on the sundays digging as i work saturdays i will be able to get tools for the job froma a ground tools wholesaler accesible through my dads job for would work i have a nail gun etc


to andy tom ant and the origanl ridd riders we need to have a meeting to plan the runs with markings etc and actually plan rather than talking about shitting in butter dishes Smile

im already 2 steps ahead of you all here, signs have been sorted and their putting in a litter bin. no mini digger im afraid, bob's no no'd it as it may piss of the ramblers and dog wankers, i mean walkers!

as for tools, we do need some, we'll figure out what we need asap and go from that but a barrow and a mattock are a must.
