While that is being planned, work can commence on other sections.
I’ll put a post together next week to advise the plans/locations.

I had visions of sections from ROAM when looking around up there today, I forsee freeride nirvana.
Multiple fallen-tree ladder skinnies/bridgess, gap-jumps, wall-crossings, rock-drops, bombhole transitions, free-flowing and fast XC sections, at the same time taking advantage of some of the trail sections that exist there already.

Now don’t everyone be getting scared of these descriptions - it will be foremost an XC trail for the WHOLE club to enjoy, with every section rideable or easy-runs around ‘fun features’.

But the scope is such that we can do some very exciting things with what exists on that hill…

Wood is a prime raw material indeed, hang onto any spare planks ye have - we can use each and every one of them.

Really psyched about that second section. It is a huge amount of work and materials but if done properly, it could be like nothing ever seen around these parts. So, what is needed you ask?

1. Manpower (there is a load of hammering, clearing, DIGGING and carpentry to be done)

2. Wood. We are going to need a lot of wood if this is going to be come what myself, Robb and Fergal invisioned today. So if anybody can source free planks, it would be very much appreciated. Also chicken wire in bulk will need to be found…

3. Tools. All of you with such things as chainsaws and screw guns will be treated like gods during this project!

I guarantee EVERYBODY who catches a glimpse of this concept trail will want to ride it over and over…..
