Savage amount of work done today. That’s going to be some trail!! Even as it is, it’s brilliant! The jump and bridge are real higlights to it. Will let someone better do the report but thanks all for coming out. Many hands really do make light work!

nice one Mr Bob the Builder - you can do it!! we may be able to build a clubhouse with any wood and nails left over - I’m thinking a quaint log-cabin, having 2 windows with little cutains to stop the bears nosing-in, a yellow door and stone chimney, then a big ramp up onto the roof to drop into the 40ft deep bombhole at the back o’ the cabin, man & bike at one with nature…
