Monday 5th Jan - Holidays over, Digger gets busy
Hugh Clixby got to work finishing off what was started before christmas this morning, and we've pretty much completed our machine-building.
First off was this berm on the red course. Because of the deep ground frost, this hasn't compacted well and is hence very soft. The top of the red course is closed to prevent damage to this before it can settle in, as well as to prevent people flying over the bars when they sink into it.
The Top of the Red Course is closed until further notice.
Next job was rock moving on the black course. Rocks went on the chicken runs around stump drop and the small rocky step.
Also around the main rock garden (yes it is there under all that snow)
And here, before the stump corner where it'll be used in a new rock feature that we'll need your help digging.
He then moved down to the end of the black course to complete work on the table.
A two metre extension (to a full 7m/23 feet), a longer, more mellow takeoff and a much longer landing mean that when we open it on the 18th, it'll be huge but safer to ride.
Again, this is still super soft because of the frost. It'll remain closed until at least the 18th, pending a trail inspection.

AshAsh is a dense and hard wood that has an elastic quality that made it a popular material for baseball bats. would like to sell some of your scrap gold. The town gained prominence during the 1970s when many young people searching for an alternative lifestyle, often-labeled hippies, settled in and around the town.
