DHbuildblog goes XC building

After a slight late start and with new recruits Andy and Loki the Labradoodle we split into two groups to get as much as possible done with precious volunteer time.

Whilst an experienced rock moving team got on with constructing a rock causeway entrance to the new Monkey, we got cracked on with finally removing the old end to the Monkey and joining it up to the newly built climb. A good bit of bench-cut later and we were ready to move on, a short journey later we'd arrived at H2, "Absinthe", where we were working last week. Before finishing up for the day we'd cut about 35 metres of brand new trail into the hillside. Unfortunately the soil conditions are terrible, so we'll be back here again soon to surface it fully with imported material.

We've still got a lot of work to do here and every hand helps, come and add your hours next week!
