you bet - BIG THANKS to everyone who helped - savage amount of quality work - looking forward to getting a spin on all of it once this rain lifts, ooh it’s rotten outside!!!
I was impressed when everyone went ahead with the construction of the new entrance to no-dabs even though common sense said:
“no-way man - you can’t do that !!”

Thanks to all those who turned up today,..with weather like this it’s easy to not bother showing up but we had a great showing of numbers today-you know who you are!..We made some existing trails more weatherproof and a new addition was made to the start of no-dabs…

Hi Declan - yep, all welcome - thanks

You did the right thing re; removing the post from mtbireland as we don't want to advertise the trails to everyone, also we have a problem with MXers ruining the trails so we ideally need to keep it as low key as we can, though obviously they could always check this site if they were really interested, but for the most part our trails don't interest them as they're too tight/technical.

see you there!

ok lads, it’s all about stealth from now on, I want us to be able to enjoy the trails we’ve made so we’re gonna make the stuff as subtle as possible, no more paint/spray etc..
let’s start thinking crafty….

I have 2 bags of plasterers sand that might help secure some rock gardens in Rock and Roll. We used it before on the RHS of TTOT and worked ok. I have half a small bag of cement too, or would that be overkill?? Should make it up by 8-30 meself.
Oh, I have a flask too, but it only holds coffee or J.D.!!

…and we’ll be “bender-proofing” some of the technical parts of the
trails (per my mail) that somebody is messin’ with!!
