24th June - Walk up track & Black run

Sunday's build was poorly attended with only Chris and Alex showing. A new walk up track has been built to avoid the slightly dangerous crossing of the black run beyond the first jump. Where you would normally cross the track just after the first berm, the walk up trail now goes off to the right, and comes out before the first jump on the black course. It's not surfaced yet, but please use it. We will surface it before winter.

Alex clearing some nettles while a lot of people stand at the top not helping.

Chris removing some roots to clear the path.

Chris rode to the course to help on his road bike. The XC builders and now a roadie have done
more for our course than some of the regular DH riders.

We had quite a few people tell us today how much of an important job we were doing, but fail to donate as much as 10 minutes of thier time. We know that some of you are really pushed for time to ride, so we're not asking anyone to do what we do and break yourselves building, we just ask that inbetween runs you lend us 10 minutes. If nothing else, it means that the trailbuilders don't go home wondering why they bother.

There is no build day in July due to do other commitments. Build days are normally on the first sunday of the month.

Next build day is on the 5th of August.
